This key club year to me has been the best one yet. With every year comes more experience and more passion towards volunteering Unlike the other previous year I feel more achieved of having helped many more people than before. There have been many events that have made a great difference to me. But one particular event impacted me the most which was the Da Vinci Day held at Cypress Ridge High school. The Da Vinci was an event where volunteers were responsible for a certain age group and helped in a certain area where helped was needed. Unlike other events I was able to directly help children a passion I have had ever since I was little. I was assigned to the Escape Room activity room where children were assigned five to a table and had to resolve their problem to get a code which would open the treasure chest. Each of the seven teams had to find their own code to unlock the seven locks to open the treasure chest. Once they finished they had to find another solution to open the tiny box where their prize waited. I was astonished of how well the group where able to work as a group. As I observed the children I watched as each person collaborated into the work until they all resolved it together as a group. When the group would find the right code I felt a sense of joy for them. They were excited and would begin to head to other to help their peers finish the problem. Each child I saw contributed something that others had not thought about. Those children were really excited and motivated. Their determination and happiness made me feel for a couple of hours of when I was young. I couldn’t believe how smart the children were in front of me. Not only were the children smart but they were calm and determined. What made this event so special to me was that it reminded me of why I started to volunteer. I started to volunteer because of my love towards helping. The reason why I began volunteering was that there was once a child whose parents were unable to afford clothes and food for him. I felt so proud of myself when I handed him a bag of groceries and a bag full of clothes. Upon seeing those children work so hard it gave me a sense of hope that the future generation is not all lost to technology. |
