Invaluable lessons you learn from volunteering
We are not unfamiliar with volunteering. __1__ However, that's not to say you can't take away a lesson or two along the way. These lessons could not only shed light on the principles of doing good, the community in need, but also on yourself.
Everyone has a story
When volunteering for a community in need, you come to realize that every person has a story — a story of who they are and how they came to be where they are. __2__ Acknowledging everyone's individual circumstances and stories makes for a more complete volunteer experience.
__3__
Picking up trash, pulling weeds or donating clothes may not seem like much, but with the right mindset, these actions can be seen to have far reaching implications. Think of it like this: picking up trash and pulling weeds contribute to the beautification of a community, while donating clothes might mean keeping someone warm in winter.
Gratitude
__4__ And helping those in need is a firm reminder of what really matters, like family. It's not uncommon for volunteers to see their own lives in a different light, perhaps when they are taking notice of the small things or during the moments that bring them joy. Thus, volunteering can make you feel grateful for the things in life that really matter.
Once a volunteer, always a volunteer
__5__ The fulfillment that comes with helping another human being, and the satisfaction from knowing you've made a difference are just a few reasons why being a volunteer once is never enough.
A．The simple things are always hard.
B．Small changes have very big impacts.
C．Volunteering is actually beneficial to all of us.
D．Volunteering is an experience that stays with you forever.
E．As volunteers, we'd better respect, appreciate, and understand it.
F．Volunteering is best known as an act done for the benefit of others.
G．Volunteering brings with it a deep appreciation of all that you have in life.
