Volunteer work experience







Today I just finished my volunteer work. I have been working in Ju Feng billiard hall for ten days. My job is set up the balls for the customers. That looks very easy. When the manager of the billiard hall told me that is my job, I am thinking, “wow, that’s easy job. I can do it without any help!” Then the manager taught me how to set up the ball, “the entire billiard was divided into two types, one is all ball in the same color, another is half white, half in color, and when you set up the balls you have to make sure the balls in the three corners of the triangle should be same, and the tapes of any two balls that beside each other should be different.”

I start working, this billiard hall is very famous in that area, so there are a lot of customers in the billiard hall. So all the staffs are very busy, the first customer that I serviced is two students, if I am telling the truth both of them are not good players, I started setting up the balls for them, I quickly put all the balls into triangle tool, then I started organize them, but I met a big problem!! The problem is I can not set up the balls follow the rule. I can not let any two balls beside each other be different types. I use 2 minutes, but I still can’t set it up currently, the students starting angry at me, fortunately, another staff come and help me. He only uses 15 seconds to set up the balls. I was shocked.

I asked this staff how can he do this, and his answer is “practice makes perfect!” then I knew I have to practice. After 20 minutes, I think I got it, I think I can do it now. So I set balls up for another customer, this time I got success, I set up it in 30 second, what a success!! I am very happy about it. The customers also feel surprise, their asked me why I am here, so I said to them, “I am a student in GCA, and I have to do 10 hours volunteer work for my portfolio.” They think that is a good idea, we need this kind of experience for our life!

I have learned a lot in these ten days, the most important things is “practice makes perfect”, in our life, nothing is easy, and you have to put effort into it. When you have done it you will feel very pride for yourself, so trust me, do what you need, never give up! Put all your effort in, you will get success!!

I have to say, “thank you!” to this volunteer work, because it taught me a lot!!
