From the program, it gave me the opportunities to become more aware of my surrounding situations and increase my passion in volunteering. By reading all the stories, not only it increases my knowledge but it also increases my curiosity which leads me to make more research about the story that ignites my curiosity. By doing more research and read about related information, my knowledge deepens and it makes me more motivated to achieve success and help those in need.
I had done a lot of volunteering programs before, I think it is advantageous for me because I can choose a lot of my previous experience to compete in the competition. As I am involved directly with the volunteering program, I can write in details about my experience while volunteering. In addition to that, everywhere I go, I will try to capture a lot of good pictures thus I have no difficulties in choosing a great photo for my story.
One of the challenges while participating in this program is to write the story that can truly portray the experience that I got while doing the volunteering program. I would like to create the story that can make people reading it feel motivated and eager to do volunteering work too. It is a challenge because I do not have the skills to write poetically so what I do to overcome this challenge is I read my story a lot of time and make corrections where it needed to be. I try to include words that can attract other people's attention and use simple words that can convey my message clearly.
