MY SELF REFELCTION

Through my volunteer experience I learned how to communicate to special need people and how to make them happy and make them love me in too many ways, I faced four kinds of disabilities and I learned how to communicate with them all ,some of them are deaf ,blind, hyperactive, and down syndrome 21. I learned some hand gestures that I can use with the students who cant hear.

Every time I enter the organization and go to the supervisor she welcomes me with joy and happiness, even when I enter the class, there is a student who stands up and hug and welcomes in a happy way. Its going to influence me in the future if I saw a special need person I will know how to welcome him and treat him with passion. I’ve worked with almost all kinds of special needs so it not going to be hard for me to communicate with  them

 If I had a chance to volunteer again I would go to (Future Center) because I really loved the organization, after a month of volunteering everyone knows us and they didn’t want us to leave even the students told me to come back as soon as possible .I’m really willing to visit them soon and if I have a free time I will be volunteering and let it to be a part of my lifestyle .
