VOLUNTEERING
What I like the most about participating in volunteer activities is the sense that I am giving back what life have been given to me as well as am impacting in others’ lives.
Segal and Lawrence (2019, Jun) states that volunteer activities can help to:
1. Connect you to others
2. Provide good for your mind and body
3. Advance your career and develop skills
4. Bring fun and fulfillment to your life
So, with that being said, I consider that even when we provide help to others when volunteering, in reality we, as volunteers, are the most benefited.
