My self-reflection

 My Self-reflections

I volunteered at ZHO, which was a wonderful experience as I found it important to me and to the community. However, the community need volunteers to make it a better place, so I helped the community and made it a better place by guiding people to the right place.

 Also I learned many skills that would benefit me in the future, one of the benefits is that people depends on me which I took the full responsibility through the volunteering and that would make me a better person for my future job.

 I felt so happy through this experience as I’ve been so patient, it was so tiring because I worked for 5 hours with nonstop. I felt sad for the handicaps but I felt happy at the same time, people are doing their best to make it easier for the handicaps, I felt proud for those people who is trying to make the world happy and easy. I’m so glad that I volunteered it made me a better person, making people happy is one of the best feeling I ever had, I will never forget these moment I spent helping people and make them smile. I made friends in there and they were gladly happy to be friend with me.

 In the end, I think we all need to volunteer to get skills and experience, otherwise we won’t have a better future and you will never feel a great person. We want UAE to be the best in the world in everything, so I will guide people to volunteer no matter what it takes to make this country better.
