My Experience
In
my life, I never had a course this interesting and different from all the
courses I had in High school or college. It was all about volunteering and
helping other people. In my experience most of the courses were sedentary and
in class works. On the other hand, this course made us go out to the community
and experience different things and interact with other people.
However,
what my group and I’ve been though was not a good experience. To begin with, we
had a plan that involved food awareness and we were going to work with “Abu
Dhabi Food Authority”. The bad part is that they accepted our project and our
plan, but literally at the last moment they turned us down. We had to make a
fast plan to cover on this one, so we went to a super visor “Abdulrahman”. With
time we found out that he was the laziest guy in HCT.
So we had to make a third plan, which was our
successful one and the best one we did. It involved interacting with other
people in different ways and a recycle plan that will help make the college a
green community. We had to work in the: Reception, Library and the
documentation center. We also had to work on the recycling project on our own
time to fulfill the objectives step by step. What I found out was, volunteers have
a huge responsibility on not making actions without the supervisor’s agreement.
If
I ever had to take this course again, I would have asked around before about
the volunteering places and the supervisors that can take us. Also do things
early, and confirm about the program and the schedule that we will have.
I
already set my mind on volunteering in my future life. Because there are people
out there facing poverty and need hands to help them with loads of stuff.
