My self reflection

My Self- Reflection

Volunteer is something important for a person; it helps you gain experiences, also helping people in their jobs. As I started taking this course community service I wasn't very confident about myself that I could volunteer in a place. But as I took the course and started volunteering it was something nice and new and really it was a very nice experience. Also people should consider volunteering is something important.


But we have some difficulties at the start because we some problems where to volunteer, because we have chosen food control then they bailed on us, so we didn't have much time and no other options but to volunteer at the college. We have volunteered at the college’s library, the academic service, the reception, and the student council, and the recycle program. Through my volunteer experience I have observed certain and important skills that benefits me in my life.


These skills are personality, communication as I volunteered at the reception talking to people and answering the phone calls, IT skills as I was at the library I was cleaning the computer updating stuff, and patience when we were looking for a recycling company that has the right services.


These experiences that I have gained have changed me; it made me a better person because I became more confident about myself. I've learned to be patient not get angry and if someone was angry I absorb has anger and I calm him down. I am not shy anymore because I learned how to communicate with people and have a conversation with them.


This course is a very interesting course, and the teacher was very helpful because he listens to us and when problem had, he was patient and extended the deadline for the plan. So this course has really made me a better person and I really really advice and encourage people to volunteer not just for the college course but in their daily lives.
