Volunteer

Saw this online and reminded me of what I did for my Explore! Programme. Although what I did is not something big or tough but one thing for sure is that whatever I did, I always think of how to make it better for the kids there, be it activities planned, lessons planned etc. I REALLY want to be the kids' eyes to see the world outside of Taiwan. I REALLY want them to be interested in learning English and be able to speak and write good English in the future and be so much better than me. 

One thing that I regretted not doing was not going the extra mile, by doing something out of my job scope, like to do a big project over that 6 weeks. If only I have more time to prepare, I might be able to do it. Like some photography project with polaroids....something that will be memorable for them and for me. 

I really admire volunteers who can think of others so much so that they forget about themselves. I really admire that kind of spirit as it's something that I don't think I will be able to do it. I don't expect myself to be like them as you can't just learn such spirit, it has to be from within - your heart.
