After college，I wanted to make a change to my life.I became a volunteer 1 ．I hoped to do something meaningful in Namibia.
To be honest，my first choice wasn't Africa，but I am pretty 2 that I was sent there.If not，I probably would not experience its beauty and wonder.3 with a group of young people with similar dreams，I started going on my journey.
Lots of tribes (部落) live in Namibia，and a number of 4 are spoken.When Namibia became independent in 1990，English became the official language.Teachers were 5 to teach English，but many were short of the language skills to do so.My job was to train the teachers.
Schools were quite 6 ．Some classrooms were made up of sticks stuck in the sand and a metal roof.Because both boys and girls shaved (剃) their 7 ，I learned to tell them apart by uniforms：Girls wore skirts.
The students had 8 days.They walked miles to get to school，often having no shoes to wear.They also cooked meals，worked in the fields and 9 younger brothers or sisters.Even with their difficult life，these children were 10 ．I admired that.
Getting used to the life there was a big 11 ．Imagine living in a place without airconditioning (空调) where the temperature often reached 38℃！ Some days it was just too hot to 12 ．
However，I could end each day with wonderful African sunset.13 Namibia，I never thought I would feel great in such an environment.My experience 14 that we can develop our amazing ability to get used to a new environment.
Travel and get out of your comfort environment and put yourself in another different 15 ．You won't regret it!
