Recommended: Volunteering in public school experience

I went to volunteer at an elementary international languages program set up by the tdsb located at Henry Kelsey Public School .In this reflection I will be writing about my time at Henry Kelsey. First I will talk about what I did during my job. Secondly I will be talking about how my role and how it affected others in the program. Finally I’ll be explaining how my volunteering relates to being a global citizen.

It all started when i thought about the 40 hours needed to complete high school. So I decided to go to the place I learned mandarin. When I went to do my volunteer I was surprised to see that all we did was watch the halls and run errands that the teachers requested. One of the pro of the job was oddly easy but it was very boring.

Through serving others, I have come to realize that every person, regardless of one’s cultural background, has something to offer to the community. As an immigrant, I was quite hesitant about accepting new challenges. The fear of others’ judgment regarding my performance hindered my progress. However, through serving others in various capacities, I was able to interact and help people in my community, who themselves helped me overcome my fears.  Whether helping patients at St. John Providence or assisting refugees at the American Red Cross, I was amazed as to how much my presence made a difference, especially for those who needed me to interpret for them.

Promoting international awareness and knowledge is what I have being doing all my life; after all I have practically being raised on the move. Being a Third Culture Kid (TCK) has allowed me to adapt to any scenario, regardless of the differences the places I lived posses, while simultaneously maintaining my identity. That is not to say that I as a person have not changed, if anything I take with me a little pearl, a lesson, a way of thinking from each place. This has allowed me to grow as a human being by breaking down walls of self-doubt, fear and insecurity.
