Another 'First Time'

Hola Darla !

Guess what happened last Sunday?! It was my first time taking part in voluntary jobs since I graduated from senior high school ! I am really excited. I have been longing to do this so long long long ago. I'm glad I can make it finally. I have registered myself officially as volunteer at a social community in my town and unofficially at another informal community. I stop teaching on Sunday so I have more free time to volunteer. Since I am still new, my task might not be really complicated. Some people wonder why I want to do this so badly. It's hard to explain, but I get a bunch of happiness and satisfaction everytime I volunteer. 

I have the mindset that giving is not only about money. I want give as much as I can. For I am not a very wealthy person, I can give much support, much energy and much time. I believe that there is something more important to give rather than money. Let the wealthy do their part and I do my part. Oh, my Mom once worried me about volunteering since she thought of my scoliosis. I might have physical limitation, but I don't limit myself. I take a rest whenever I'm tired and take a proper rest or sleep when I come home. So far, no significant problem and I can do it as how non-scoliosis does. ^^

Ah, this is noteworthy. Beside I obtain happiness and satisfaction, I also learn to enhance myself. Not all volunteers are angels. We are all human that are still learning to be a better person. I realize that I am basically a selfish person. I was once placed at the main gate to greet visitors. We greets people by bowing and smiling. It looked easy, but not until you do it yourself. LOL. We have to start approaching people and offers help. It might seem invisible, but it really cut the 'selfish' me little by little. It also helps me to erase a little part of the 'awkward' me. I kept smiling for more than half day and when I reached home, I still kept smiling like a stupid until my mother called me a crazy. ^^"

Well, it is wonderful experience and I wait for another wonderful things. Thank you God for the great opportunities.
