▶ Your Answer : Most of the colleges in korea have the students do volunteer work. It’s because they firmly believe that there are a lot of advantages to do. In my case, I had to join the volunteer program in my college and I don’t like to join it at first time. At that time, I thought the mandatory volunteer work isn’t helpful for the students to improve their real volunteer mind. However, after doing the volunteer work, my views on this issue was changed because I found there were a lot of merits. First, mandatory volunteer work enables the students to have various and invaluable experiences they hadn’t experienced in their class ; meeting new kind of people, working in the new field they hadn’t thought about before, learning the way to help other people and feeling worth from doing volunteer work. I think the best goal of the education is making the students work for the other people in our society and following this view, volunteer work is the best course that colleges can make. When I was a freshman in my college, I worked as a volunteer at the shop that spends most of their incomes on helping homeless people. I felt that system to help other people was interesting because either customers and sellers can be help other people just by buying or selling. I learned there were a lot of way to volunteer and it wasn’t too hard work. After that work, I reallly got into this business that can help the weak. Furthermore, volunteer work can make people get into other volunteer work even if it was a mandatory. Many people who objected to the mandatory volunteer work might maintain that it wasn’t helpful for the students to be interested in helping the weak. It’s because the way to force them to do it can make them think this work isn’t worth. However, it is not true. Most of my friends who volunteer without their willing said that they could have a interest about another volunteer work. One of my friends, Eun-ji actually started another work after finishing her work. She wasn’t the one who had experienced volunteer work before or had a interest in that field. Originally she worked as a volunteer where I worked, and then after finishing this work, she wanted to work at the place she can help kids. It’s because when she volunteered, she found out the fact she was interested in children problem. She sometimes says me that she could learn how it is worth to help the other because of that volunteer work. |
