My Self-Reflection

My Self-Reflection

In these past weeks I did something that I didn't think that I will ever do in my life, I volunteered. Volunteering is the act of doing something to help others without any payment in return, people do it to make them feel better and for them to be a better person. Me and my group went to Zayed Higher Organisation for humanitarian care and special needs, it is a governmental organization that helps and teaches people with special needs of any kind. They have many specialists and trained staff to deal with them and teach them in a proper manner.

I can honestly say that I completely changed my view on volunteering, which I use to describe as a waste of time and energy. However, these past weeks I felt as I was really useful for the community or at least to the students that I was within ZHO. Every day I felt satisfied after our time is finished and was eager to do come back again. While at first I was really negative at the whole thing, but after trying really hard to do my best I felt happy and really glad about what I did. It really helps you remove the stress and pressure you may feel.

 I am proud to say that I will continue to volunteer in the future, in fact, I am still volunteering in ZHO even though our course is finished. I use to think that if I will do something, then I better get paid for it or it isn’t worth it, after this past month I noticed that I started helping others without realizing like for example picking up hitchhikers and drive them to where they want. It feels like everything is right, you begin to see the world in a more positive manner. This experience is really worth the try I recommend everyone to do it.
