In middle school, I began volunteering. We’d assist teachers at daycares with poor kids or go shopping for 41 citizens. I loved how it felt to help those in need and see them 42 .
So as my bar mitzvah(犹太男孩的*仪式) approached, I wanted to celebrate my “coming of age” by 43 in an even bigger way. But how was I going to do that?
I come from a middle: class family,44 I knew that I couldn't just make a large donation. I had to be 45 . And in sixth grade, it 46 me. I thought: There must be other people like me. What if we all collaborated (合作 )?
I decided to ask people to donate $2 each to a worthwhile 47 . To encourage people to 48 , I decided to record my own song and give the MP3 as a donation 49 . The song is called “Fight for a Cause”.
I also had to figure out which charity the donations would 50 . I decided to let the donors 51 for their favorite.
I 52 a Greek physicist named Archimedes, who once said, “Give me a lever(杠杆) 53 enough and a place to stand, and I can move the Earth.” So I named my organization the Archimedes Alliance. Pretty 54,right?
Finally, in the summer before eighth grade, my bar mitzvah arrived. I gave a speech, and lots of people donated on the spot. I felt so 55 and excited.
Then I sent an e-mail to everyone I knew and who my parents knew, letting them know how to donate. I have to admit, I was seriously 56 . Few people donated and even fewer passed along my 57 . I realized: This is going to be way 58 than I thought. But I was 59 . So I kept sending e-mails and talking about my project to 60 the message.
The Archimedes Alliance eventually raised $40,101.60,which we donated to the charity that got the most votes.
