Community Involvement & Employability Skills--volunteer for the fashion show and the bookshop


10 hours due by May 4



I was a stage backdrop artist and helped to take teachers and parents to the Third Annual Fashion Show in GCA at night, and I got 5 hours of volunteer work for doing these work totally.






In the afternoon of the fashion show, Ms.Hadley gave our volunteers a big black curtain. We need to fix up the letters on it. The letters were done by some volunteer before. Letters were big, that is very difficult for us to do. First, we think about to use the double side tape, but it doesn’t have mucosity. Then we asked for Ms.Hadley to gave us some staplers. We use the staplers to fix up the letters. The curtain was so big, it cost us a lot of time to finish. When we finish our work and the work is done well, we will be very proud of ourselves. I was tired but however, I was happy. At night, many teachers and students with their parents come to see this fashion show. I was the volunteer, I was polite enough leading all the people to their own seats. When the show began, all of us were excited. All the models were charming enough, and they were successful to show themselves in this fashion show.




During the May holiday, on the afternoon of April 30th, I also did some volunteer work in the bookshop where on the Beijing Road and I got 5 and an half hours volunteer time for it.















I went to bookshop to help them carry and classify the new books, from 12:30pm to 6:00pm. At the beginning, I carried dozens of books into the bookshop, and then I classify these books. It was a difficult job to do, because books were in a mess, we should divided these books into many different kinds –literature, romance, philosophical, etc, and some different language of books. Our have three clerk and I to fix up these books, we divided into two groups, two people each group. I classify books, and the other clerk recorded the name of each book. Few hours later, we put all the new books we finished on the bookshelf, at about 6:00pm, I have finished my duty of volunteer. My arm was aching enough, but I was also happy. When I saw the books on the bookshelf, I could thought ” that wonderful books was classify and fix up by me”. It was a sense of proud.






I think doing volunteer work is very useful in our future life, it is the best way to experience what taking a job is like and what will we be responsible in. We shouldn’t be afraid of the difficulties. We need to face these difficulties more confidently. It will help us to overcome them and achieve our own goals.
