I have volunteered at many places including the soup kitchen, animal shelter, and a nursing home, but recently I volunteered for an event called 100 for 100. 100 for 100 was an event were disadvantaged children were nominated to receive 100 dollars to spend a Dicks Sporting Goods. I was given the job of helping a seven year old pick out things he wanted or needed. This seven year old was one of the nicest children I have ever met. I later found out that he watched his mother pass away.
This really impacted me because I would have never realized that a little boy could be so polite and respectful after seeing his mother pass away in the manner that she did. After volunteering at that event I realized that, that is why I enjoy volunteering. It’s nice to know that you made someone else’s day by just donating a small amount of your time.
