I've attended and completed my Lion Befriender's volunteer orientation program today and I'm really excited about beginning my journey as a volunteer. Hopefully, I can apply what I've learnt today not just on my volunteerism work but in life as well.
It was a great experience abet rather boring at times due to the long monotonous lecture and some what repetitive activities. Most importantly, I had fun and made new friends! Cheers to that!
Also, after today's course, the two things that struck me the deepest are, not being judgmental and validation. Its really important that one does not judge another and honestly, I'm very guilty of that. It is important that you give validation to others. Remember how its like when people compliment you? Yea, do the same for others. It'll make the world a better place.
And so, from today onwards I'll live by this motto:
Life goes on...
Thank you for inspiring me to be a better person. You may not have known it but I've always aspired to be like you when it comes to helping others.
