During the enrichment workshop yesterday, we were informed about the true benefits of community service and helping others just for the sake of helping. I can say that I definitely agreed with what the presentation focused on. I have to say that doing work for the benefit of others with nothing in return has its rewards. The New York Cares project, for instance, not only gave me the opportunity to volunteer my hours, but it also gave me the chance to get to know different people and remain in contact with my leader from the event, Lisa. I was able to just be a helping hand among many other people to make an event truly successful. The presentation yesterday reemphasized my feelings towards volunteering. I definitely feel like this isn’t going to be the last time I willingly volunteer.
