Now,all his hard work has paid off.Jack,who recently graduated from Providence High in Charlotte,North Carolina,was given the President’s Volunteer Service Award,for volunteering more than 500 hours in the community during high school.The award is designed to honor Americans who are committed to service and help inspire others to get involved.

　　“He is a humanitarian(人道主义者),” said Michelle Mazzulo,Jack’s mother.“He gives so selflessly.He can’t help himself.”

　　Jack said his most memorable moment as a volunteer came years ago at his mother’s workplace,a daycare center.Jack helped kids in the program with academic problems.

　　That’s when he met a little boy who was experiencing difficulties focusing and behaving appropriately in school.

　　“He acted out and nobody was getting through to him,” Michelle said.“So Jack had this idea of rewarding him.”

　　Each week,Jack helped the boy with reading and talked about the importance of learning.

　　At the end of the week,if Jack received an excellent report from the boy’s teacher,the two would go out for ice cream.

　　When the boy had something to look forward to,“he was able to appreciate school,” Jack said.

　　While Jack has mentored(辅导) younger students,he has also helped peers who struggled in school.Michelle said Jack would often stay up late at night,putting his own homework on hold,so he could help a friend who had a question about Spanish,science or math.
