i only do a little volunteering and i really like it,
there is a woman who is nearly 100 yrs old who comes with her friend and she is still very sharp and gets the bus and everything, she was born 1915 can you imagine that?
in my opinion i think you are lucky to live until 60 or 70 so living to 100 that is amazing
Damn man. Thatās old. It sounds like itās been a pretty epic century.
Yeah man imagine all the new technology she saw being discoveredā¦ Like T.V. and like Ipods and stuffā¦
i think she is very lucky to still be walking around never mind alive,
she has some amazing stories, things were a lot different back then
i hope she can live to 100 and beyond, i hope she gets her letters
i think it was horse and cart a lot of the time
and also then there were trams everywhere
i wish there were still trams bc they looked like fun in the museum
and i think they would be better for the enviroment as well.
Centurions dude. Still really ā ā ā ā ā ā ā rare. Her health has kept up thus far though. Donāt see why thatād change.
iām thinking about doing a bit more but i am worried that i will take on too much
and then there is always the thing at the back of my mind telling me i am lazy
i have been thinking really hard on this, one is a child care toddlers group and the other
is a alcohol/drugs addiction and recovery group (which may involve me giving my testimony)
if i gave my testimony i think it would sound very strange in front of a crowd of christians talking about certain things or experiences i had while i was ill so i may just leave that out or just refer to them as āexperiencesā
anyway i think i might be able to do both but it would be very hard i think,
toddlers seem to run around a lot so i might find it hard to watch them and what if they need the toilet? i dont think i could do that, iād like to get some experiences with kids though and it would help my church and also give me the hours required to get onto a course in college next year
its just worrying me you know, idk if i can do that and i hate failure, if i failed it would really suck, its driving me crazy thinking what to do.
I volunteer at the cat adoption center at petsmart regularly. Itās a lot of fun and also relaxing. A good destressor, and I get to help cats find homes!
I volunteer about 6 or 7 hrs a week for 2 different charities doing IT/Admin and Peer Support for people with mental health problems everything ranging from Autism to paranoid Schizophrenia.
Both are quite rewarding and Iām currently looking to find a ārealā part time job!
I volunteer as a mock patient for an Occupational Therapist class. Iāve lost track of how many years Iāve been doing it. I go again on Monday with a new batch of students.
Iād like to volunteer at a mental hospital on the weekends, but I havenāt found an opportunity close enough to me. I found weekends to be the worst when I was there.
i volunter at the base near my house as a bagger at the commisary which is like a grocery store.
Not currently but have done a bit over the years. The most rewarding and challenging was volunteering for the riding for the disabled.
Location really affects desirability of volunteering. My city is really going -hit hole, would not want to make contact with any more nutty ones claiming to be christianā¦
If you reach the point where strangers are harassing you about taking psych meds, I would not bother being out in public unless you are making money. Some of the churches have taken up this cause in some cities, & things are getting really ugly with nuts yelling āTHIS IS WAR YOU JEW!!!ā
I can walk around my neighborhood when the kids are in school & I tolerate some really nasty stuff out of employees/customers at some stores. Only do a little more now, just occasional events. Had someone REALLY AGGRESSIVELY nuts here chase me out of professional networking groups and business networking stuff. Have heard some of these will hunt you down to finish you off if they ever see you working in your cityā¦Volunteering would only be worth it if you want to be really strong & just make the noisy nuts look like barking dogs.
