See my card making for kids in hospitals, meaningful huh? It's an activity carried out by a community service club in ISU. Indeed it's a meaningful work.. But you know what, I was actually doing it all by my own. Although i felt really happy because i manage to continue community serving here, i felt disappointed at the same time for I haven't meet passionate people in doing charity works like LEOs did, yet.
There were only ten few people turned up for the card making activity. Well, number always doesn't matter, as long as everyone put their efforts in it and do it sincerely. Disappointingly, i saw most of them kinda like doing their own thing, talking to their own friends, sitting and doing works at their own table, and after a while, when they started feeling bored, they say 'Bye!' and went off. This was only a 2 hours activity, from 5pm to 7pm, yet how many people tend to stay until the event ended?
I realized how hard it is to meet people who are having the same ambission, same passion, keeping the same spirit as we do, doing the same thing together, trying to achieve the same goals together. All i wana say is, please appreciate and treasure every moments when you guys are doing events or hang out or even just having a meal together.. cause you will never know whether you will meet any person like them in the future.
Back to the story, I insisted to stay until the event ended. There were two girls sitting beside me, and they left at around 6pm. I was like 'wow, leaving this early?' they said 'oh,we were here since 5pm and now it is 6pm! We've been staying for long'. I feel like wana tell them, 'oh i was here since 5pm too. - -..'
Be responsible. Once you have picked up something, make sure you finished it or bear with it till the end. Maybe it's boring, maybe it's tough, maybe it's annoying but well, you made the choice, be responsible.Kay fine, it's voluntary work we can't force anyone to do it, yaaaaaa 'cause people don't get pay ma!'. But you know what, If everyone practice the same altitude, i wonder how's the world gonna be in the future.
It was just a two hours activity yet it makes me thought of so many things, and missing all my times and people in INTI LEO so much.
I manage to 'make my ass sit on the chair until the end of the activity', but in my heart felt like leaving the room before it ends. Every participants have no interactions at all. Even the organizing team, they were sitting at a table interacting among themselves only. And i realized, people were not taking things serious enough, made me feel that i was one of the fool trying so hard to make the cards. However, there were still some people who really put efforts and stayed till the end of the activity and I thank God for that.. there are still people who really putting their efforts in this.
Things i wana bring out are:
-Voluntary works are always not easy.. there aren't much people who really care enough and willing to involve themselves in it.
-And it's really hard to find a group of people, all working together like one, striking for the same goals. If you have found them, treat them well and cherish them.
-It's troublesome works and people don't get pay to do it. So be respect to each other, and appreciate every each of them because they can make their choice not to do it, but they didn't.
- DO NOT GIVE UP OR QUIT IN THE HALF OF ANY WORKS, unless you have a really good reason for it. Work it out till the end.Well, in my opinion, reasons would be excuses.
Looking forward to meet better situations and good peoples in the future :). I'll keep my efforts on community services and i won't let it go no matter where i am.Hope for the best. And i hope this post could raise some consciousness of you, especially to my beloved juniors. I hope it helps. Cheers.
