Volunteering Journey

Volunteering is something that I planned to do someday. However who would have thought that it came so fast.  I figured how hard can it be. I am giving my services for free. Boy! I was wrong. Here goes my very first journey to volunteering.

The orientation before volunteering at this place, was interesting. I was filled with enthusiasm to begin this journey. Couldn't wait to get started. 

After a few sessions of volunteering at this place, I am like 😵‍💫&😩. I have found it rather stressful, confusing and frustrating. I felt like I am working for this place for free. It does come with benefits but it wasn't what I was looking forward to doing as a volunteer. I seem to have lost my understanding of my main purpose of volunteering. Is it to help the staff or is it to help others in need? Somehow I felt that I am more like helping the staff and haven't done anything that really help others. Just isn't the kind of volunteering I was expecting to do. I seriously need to rethink this through 🙄🤔.

However, you don't have to agree with me. This is just my opinion, my say.
