Volunteering this semester was a blast. I volunteered for two different events this semester, the first was the Dunn Dash. In the Dunn Dash, my role was to count the laps that the runners did around the track as well as encourage them to try their best. I also talked to the runners before and after their scheduled run times. The second event I volunteered for was the Columbus day of service. In the day I service I was assigned to the Habitat for Humanity Restore where I helped sort items in the back as well as lifting vinal flooring onto shelves to prepare them for display and sale. A couple of things I learned about myself during these events was that I enjoyed encouraging others and watching them succeed. The Dunn Dash taught me this and I really enjoyed watching the runner that I was assigned to pass by on the track. Another thing I learned is that I enjoyed the feeling that came with helping the employees of the Restore shelf the flooring. My friends and I helped them get through 250 rolls of the flooring which would have taken them a long time to do by themselves. I got to see how thankful they were that our volunteer time occurred at the same time that these rolls were delivered. This service has impacted me becuase it taught me how to help and encourage others. It also taught me how to push through hard work even when I am tired. Because of service learning, I am a harder worker.
