3rd Day

Wednesday was my last day of doing volunteer work. Even though I complete my hours I am planning to keep going some times to Sr. Vincent de Paul and help around a little bit more. Also I am planning on encouraging my friends to buy and used items from this place instead of going to the pawn shop and buy their items.

This last day I was back again into the miscellaneous area. This time was slower than last time just because it was a Wednesday and the last time that I was working was a Saturday so everybody was off to do drop off.

I was classifying items by the ones that were good and the ones that were not buyable at all. This time I threw away some toys that I used to use when I was a kid. I felt so sad and so bad about that I was almost to the point to buy one, but I didn’t. The reason why I didn’t buy any item, it was because I help other poor people in my country by giving them those items that I don’t use, instead of selling them those items.

In St. Vincent de Paul I felt so pleased working there that it was unbelievable. The people were so nice to me and they didn’t over use their power over me by being a volunteer. Even their boss wanted me to work there, but I currently have a job. I told him: “Thank you, for the job offer, but I would rather come here time-to-time and help you whenever I can. This is because I currently have a job, but thank you again for the offer.”

This last day made me realize a lot of good thinking of why I do what I do to help others. And I don’t regret and don’t mind doing this type of service some other in the future.
