Self-reflection

Volunteering is working for an organization without being paid or even volunteering can be without organization. This year I volunteer and it was the first time for me to volunteer me and with my friend Saeed and it was a great experience to volunteer with special needs in the future center.

I have learned many things since I volunteer in the future center and most thing that I have learned is “patient” it was important to be patient with all of the students.

When we go to the future center and see the students smile even if they were special needs although they are smiling unlike who is in a good health but u see him 24 hours is not satisfied by anything around him and upset with everything.

and I was surprised that their was one student who knows when is the time for praying and he told us its time to go to the mosque but their people around me who don’t goes to the mosque even. 

This experience changed my view about the special needs because I have 2 cousins who are special needs and one of them have mentally problems and the other have physically problems but I was scared about the mentally one because on of the days he slap me and he have a strong hand even my hand is not stronger than him but after I volunteer I learned how to communicate with the special needs and every one have a special way to communicate with them, and now I can communicate with my cousins without fear and they start to love and that all goes of my experience  the future center.
