Is This True Volunteer Work?

Mary :

How is your volunteer work going?//

Ken :

Well, I’m finally getting used to talking with elderly people at the nursing home.// I really enjoy seeing their smiles.// But I sometimes feel sorry for them.//

Mary :

❶What’s wrong, Ken?//

Ken :

I feel dishonest because I started doing volunteer work for myself.// ❷I mean, I regret starting it to get an advantage on entrance exams.//

Mary :

Ken, ❸that doesn’t matter.// I think you now feel like doing something for others.// That’s the most important thing.//
