Volunteering is something that always attract me. A person can volunteer in different ways, in different situations. Anytime that I volunteer I give something that it is in me, I feel better, I give a part of me that it comes really naturally and really makes me feel that I did something today, I gave were a need was there, someone was helped, and this really makes me a better person.
I think that when you volunteer, you learn a Lott through it, you involve yourself freely and for sure because you offer your time, skills and potential that you really posses, you really give your very best. That makes you expand your abilities in other fields, rather than your profession or your job. In this way, a person who volunteer, complete itself, and for sure a person grow in it. For sure this is both side, you give your time and experience, and you gather more experience, you give too your community, church or family and for sure they give you back.
I believe that this is a proccess in life, it is a time that you give and volunteer, you give where there is a need,person who really needs help to eat or walk or talk, or any other thing, depends on the situation. And there will be a time in life that you will receive this back in life, it is a proccess.
Myself I try to be involved in different ways in volunteering, since I was a student in my university, in my church according to the needs, in my family and friends and continuously in my church and my community.
Every time I volunteer, I really feel better person, and I can see the preceation in peoples eyes, and I grow more through it, I am trying to learn and understand how important it is to be involved in different activities and makes life more interesting;you try to be apart of life too.
So, in other words, you do not limit yourself just in small circle, just work and some friends which is so important too, but you expand and give so you grow too in life.
This is how I think about the benefits of volunteering and I am sure that a Lott of people out there will have more and more to share about it .
