When we were growing up，my mom focused most of her energy on the organization like the church，the school or the community.I remember her comment whenever I complained about the volunteer activities. "It's for the church. " Or "It's for the school. " So my brother ran the sound equipment for the school's annual Christmas play，my dad made bean soup for the church's summer festival，and I spent days reorganizing the elementary school library at the end of each school year.How could anyone dare to refuse？Each demand was accompanied by that unspoken question， "If you don't do it，who will？"
   For my mother，volunteering was like breathing or cleaning out the closets each spring.If it needed to be done and you were able to do it，you did it.
   Now as an adult and mother of three children，I have raised my hand at more meeting than I care to count.As a Girl Scout leader，I spent my Thursday evening with sixteen energetic Brownies.I baked dozens of cookies to raise money for the school gardening club.If I didn't do it，who would？
   That little question has also encouraged me to take action in other aspects of my life when I would have preferred to just stay in bed.If I don't cut fat，add calcium （鈣），and exercise，who will？If I don't turn off TV programs that are inappropriate for my children，who will？
   Sometimes what comes with that question seems overwhelming （壓倒性的）.How easy it would be to turn the responsibility of life over to those we all love to reply on： "them".Let "them" worry about endangered whales.Let "them" pick up roadside garbage.Let "them" serve on the school board.But that isn't what my mother taught me.If I can do it，I believe I should do it.
   After all，if I don't，who will？
