10 What happened during the audition
Improvisation Team building Problem solving Just having fun Who could make the tallest building using celotape, newspapers and bluetac Then putting together a 1-2 presentation on the Olympic thing, faster, higher , stronger :/ at first I thought it was going to be long especially if you don’t know the true meaning of volunteering Accepting criticism

11 What I have gained from being a part of the Olympics
Friendship Being responsible Working together how its branched my opportunites How I respect people who do voluntary work Im always looking for voluntary work that I know I can put 110% into and that also looks like a lot of fun

12 What is volunteering? Volunteering is freely offering to do something
You don’t get paid

13 I hope this has inspired you to take up some voluntary work
Remember its not about the work, its about the experience and knowledge you get out of it

I volunteer to coach synchronised swimming, Unpaid work. Gain experience for their future career Committed Wanting to help the club I coach because I enjoy synchronised swimming also I want to be a teacher and with experience of coaching it shows that I am working with people and shows that I am willing to volunteer for it to give me experience.
