My self reflection

We participate at Zayed Higher Organization For Humanitarian Care And Special Needs, as volunteers in the various activities thatprovide helps with special needs with the attention that they require and deserve.

As a Special Needs, we would be worked with students with mental development difficulties (autism) the ages between of five to adulthood, depending on the situation.

I learned so many interesting things from them, how to make relationship with the student and to be helpful with any person. Also, I learn how to be great person, learn some of teaching tactics.

It is gives me an experience how to deal and communicate with mental development difficulties.

The volunteering change my personality and make me learn new skills like: teaching and good dealing and communicate with people. Also, I feel that I am part of community by helping and assistingstudents.

The volunteering had me a chance to try many new activities through my life and encourage me to participate in any where volunteering. It also  influence me and make me better person, I like to help people, be kind more than I before and teaching them when they need something.

I think it good for my future,  gaining benefits such as: Gain practical experience and training in the field of autism, Certificate of Appreciation the service of the goal of charity.

Finally it was a great experience in my life and I am ready to. I want to thanks my teacher and zayed higher organization for welcoming us
