my first volunteer experience was good. i had alot of fun because i learned alot. i actually got alot out of this. i finally realized that everyone is not as fortunate as i am and everyone doe not have what you have. //__MC__// taught me not to look a gifted horse in the mouth because sometime that can happen to you and you might end up asking for help from someone. i also learned not to bite the hand that feeds you because sometimes they might not have exactly what you want but its something that you didnt have before. and this volunteering experience was a real eye opener for me.

My first volunteer experience was wonderful, I liked it alot. I seen many people with different persoanlity's, but they all were nice. I learned that many people that are in a nursing home are still very smart as you start to get to know them, and they loved to be entertained, and have company around them. I want to continue to learn their personailty's, and I want them to remember me when i'm done volunteering. Dm

My first experience was great. I got to see how they run things, and i met a lot of nice people. When i first go there i met the elderly that came here and talk us about the place, and she made us put shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion in boxes and containers. After that, i wash dishes and stock canned food on the shelves. I learn to keep things organized, and to help be helpful. I want to continue to help the elderly because better for me do what all i did instead of them because they are too old to be doing that JY

My 1st time volunteering at the MC was cool. The things that I learned that they have to do a lot in a very short time frame and that they are a very friendly group of people. The thing that I hope to learn would be how can I help them work faster and easier. DC

my first day of vonlenteering was fun. i was suprised at how fast it went. i was with two of the PC'sresidents and i helped them make a neclase and play a game of halloween bingo. i had a laddy who couldnt talk very well but she just conversating with me. i was also wit a west high war vet he was lots of fun he had a great sense of hommorIM 

My first volunteer experience was good. i had a lot of fun spending time with older people playing bingo and making necklaces with them. Even though we didn't have a lot of time there and it was our first day the people there were nice. i learned how much patience some of the staff have to have when working with older people. i want to continue to learn how i can get to know the people there and how we can have fun with them. i hope to enjoy the time that i spend at PC and with the people.

I had a lot of fun at my first volunteer experience.I learned that mostly older people run MC.I realized that MC helps out a lot of family's that are in need and I feel blessed that my mom has a job and have money for me to eat.I noticed that really no one that came to MC was really poor but they were having a hard time.It feels good to be helping people that needs it.

** My first volunteer experience was good because i got to see what the older volunteers went threw when they were trying to help people. I got to see the people that would come threw there looking for help and how the volunteers were willing to help them out with the little that they had. I learned that everyone is not as fortunate and that helping them makes a difference. I also learned that helping those who help the less fortunate can really mean something to them and that they will feel less stressed. I would like to continue to learn about the people who seek help. I would like to know and understand them and to understand where they are coming from. CP AW **

== My first volunteering experience was nice and fun i got to help kids make and color a squirrel. what i learned was to have more patience because some of the kids need extra help at //__BF__// i learn there are many more ways to communicate with a person other than just having conversations with them, you can use machine, touch and etc. what i want to continue to learn is other things the kids do, i also want to learn the kids better.

my first volunteer experience was good. I learned that not everybody can have what I have. Sometime people need more help than others. I want to continue to learn how can help out more, what other thing I can do to help poeple thats in need. JO
