My Self Reflection
Through my volunteer experience I learned a lot about
special needs people in ZHO. At the beginning we had our own ideas about them,
for example we thought they are unable to treated with, all of them have a mentally
special needs, their attitude will be different and they can’t understand us,
as well we had our fears from the idea of volunteering in ZHO, but we
challenged our selves and choose to do a new thing in our lives.
However, until we arrived there, we found out how the
organization treat them, how they teach them and make them ordered and
organized. In every time the students see us, they smiled and felt happy and
others came to us and shake our hands “handshake” well that was unexpected.
That changed our look and made us to rethink about the idea of them.
At a while, they treated us like brothers, they look like a
family there, and we joined the family, also we found out how clean and white
there hurt is, because as we sow, they never leave to bus when someone is sad
from them, until they apologize to that person. These are things that we surly
affected by, now whenever I see a special need person, I always smile and feel
good, the fear is gone.
Furthermore, we did some activities with the students, also
we met new people “the teachers” and in every class we cooperate with, the
happiness and since of humor were
inside also with the students. We try our best to help them at their work, also
we always ask the teacher if we could help in anything, sometimes we work as a
team and cooperated with each other.
At the future, I
wish to alert the people who have the same ideas that we had before, and change
their reflections about them. We are all equal, its not fair to treat them like
they are crazy or something, because they didn’t choose to be like that, and we
can help.
