I used to think I wanted a career in social work. Then I studied it and I found out that it wasn’t really for me. I didn’t really like it that much after all.
I tried early childhood education. I did enjoy that, it was interesting learning about the different theories of early years education, play, etc.
A few years ago I decided that since I was volunteering for friendly call, which is a befriending service, that I’d go back to college to study and so I enrolled in a course called mental health in the community.
It was a very interesting course which I learned a lot from and at the end of it I got a diploma.
Today, I’m still volunteering, I get so much out of volunteering, and while I don’t get paid for my time, I still am very glad that I decided 5 years ago to volunteer. It has been one of the best experiences, one of the most rewarding experiences in my life.

I’ll bet it’s the best and most rewarding experience for some of those to whom you reach out, too!
