Challenge 11
I think it is so great when people take the time out of their own lives to do volunteer work for others. This is something that is very admirable and also something I would like to do myself. I have put a lot of thought into the type of volunteer work I would like to do. There are so many things that I love that can be translated into doing something I love doing, for free. I have thought about volunteering at a hospital, but then recently decided that I am not good around blood. I then came across a commercial on the radio that was talking about Greenhill Humane Society and how they take volunteers during the summer. I really want to sign up so I can work with the animals. Another this that I would like to do is a program called Safety Town. A friend told me about it and I thought it would be fun because one of my passions in life is working with children. I want to be a elementary school teacher after college.
There are so many opportunities for volunteer work even in your own community. You don’t need to search very far. The thing about volunteer work is that it is for everybody, including yourself. It benefits your community by doing whatever you did to help and it benefits you by making you feel good about yourself for helping out your community.
I got the idea for this post from the blog: Your best work yet
