volunteer work#2




From April 17th to the 19th , I went to the community service to do volunteer work by cleaning the garbage and loose paper in our community...




From doing this, I learned quite a lot of things..The first thing I learned was that I noticed that a number of people left their garbage around carelessly after chatting or taking a walk in the community park.Leaving garbage behind them does not happen to be anything to care in their minde because they think that the people who clean up for the community will pick up their left garbage instantly so they do not worry at all.The next thing I learned was that the other people cleaning up for the community paid much attention to all the details of cleaning.They did all the work neatly and carefully...All of a sudden, I finally noticed how selfish we were in our lives,throwing our garbage around then letting other people clean up behind us..The cleaness of our community is not kept by us who use it but by other people ...


After this process, I noticed that I was not responsible enough for my actions in the past. I have left garbage lying around in the past but at that time I did not pay any attention to it nor did I think it was of any importance to me.I also thought it was their job to keep the community clean as they were paid for doing it but now I noticed it was a wrong way of seeing this. They were paid, that was true..But they were not paid to be extra careful about what they do.For them, this is not only a job but also a kind of responsibility.


In order to work well with other people , we can not be too shy . Sometimes, we need to be extrovert enough to get on well with other people that work at the same place that you do.Also, you should be able to have a heart that can accept other peoples' suggestions.


Although this work was not interesting at all and sometimes it was very hard for me to pick up the tissues by hand . I still completed this job and I am really proud of myself~.
