All these while I've been hearing stuffs like this:
'CCE points already explode still go?'
'She lorh! Alot of CCE points one!'
'Collect so many got thing to take meh?'
Well all I can say is that I have completed the required CCE points needed to graduate in Year 1. It will be no meaning if I didn't participate in any activity in Year 2 and Year 3 right? The spaces will be blank and maybe people will kaypo see 'ey you didn't do anything this year ah?' It will be sort of like very active in the beginning then at the end inactive already.
So I go on and sign up for activities which can fit in to my schedule.
In the process, I learn about NYAA which is National Youth Achievement Award. Straight away I signed up for the Gold Award which need to take part in activity in 4 categories before 25th birthday. It gave me lots of exposure, lots of activities that needed volunteers came to me but I only select that I can afford my time with.
I have done numerous volunteering. I can say that none of it is an easy-going event. Each and every event has its own easy and difficult part. Life is too.
The events' name I've done is confidential though, but all I can say is I've done mostly running events.
Some jobs scope that I have done:
AWA Athlete's Welfare Area = which is mainly after the runners run finish, I have to distribute the medals and goodies.
Water Point = which is situated in some parts of the whole run area, distribute water.
Start Point/End Point = which is to cheer the runners and guide them the way.
Route Marshal = which is situated in various parts of the whole run area, guide runners the lane.
Drink Counter = which is situated in the run festival, distribute cold drinks.
Baggage = which is mainly take care of runners' baggage
I have realized that I've used a lot of 'which is'
Through volunteering, I have seen good-side and bad-side of human nature. I could't say much of it but I think it is good. It is equivalent as travel the world seeing places and people. You get to go to different places volunteering doing stuff, getting entitlements, event t-shirt and meeting other volunteers. At the end, you got appreciation for helping out as well.
So why not volunteer? If you like meeting people, travel around, but get to do work for others, volunteering suits you!
There is this uncle, first time volunteering in a sports event with me, ask me:
'Why do you volunteer?'
Well i answered:
'I like to. Meeting people and knowing them briefly. People come and go. You see me today but not anymore. Maybe in the future on the streets, maybe not at all.'
The best part of volunteering I guess is I can be more responsible on my job, what I do, finishing it, and that's good. It may be hard, but it will end. (that's what on my mind all the time, because i am a quitter, i quit easily, but not on volunteering, you can't just run away from your responsibility. if not it will jumble up the whole system.)
But on the side note! I GET TO MEET REAL FAMOUS PEOPLE THAT NORMALLY EXIST IN TV.
xo.
