Before the exprience I thought that I would not like it at all, that it would be very boring and long. Also I thought that I might have to find something else to do instead.
As an educational stand-point I hoped to gain a better understanding of how the volunteer system worked, and I hope to use that further in life when planning to help others.
From this service I hoped to gain knowledge on how to use myself for the good of others.
From this experience I hoped to gain a relationship with the other staff and volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House. I hoped to do this so that whenever I would go in I would know people.
I hoped to benefit from my involvement by just gaining the love and desire to keep volunteering more.
