Finding a volunteer job that works for you can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. However, while many find volunteer jobs that works for them, some people may take on a volunteer job that doesn't work out. Take me, for instance. A few years ago, I decided to volunteer at a local animal shelter. And I discovered that volunteering at an animal shelter wasn't for me. So was the experience a failure for me? No, because I tried it. To me, the only way I could've failed is if I had never volunteered there at all. It's great to find a volunteer job that works for you. But if you try a volunteer job and you don't like it, the experience wasn't a failure because you tried it. You gave it a shot. That's commendable. And chances are, you'll find another volunteer job that will work for you.
I just recently left my volunteer work after seeing someone bullied - I realised I and all the other volunteer's were just being used as free labour. I miss it, but almost all of the volunteer work in this town is managed by the same body. I need something to do though, otherwise I'm seriously going to go beserk.
Oh. I thought this was going to say that it wasn't a failure because the organization still got help, not that you still got something out of it.
