My Life Series: I’m Volunteering as an Art Assistant
I’m loving the experience
Welcome to My Life Series, where I share moments and experiences that are helping me grow and reconnect with myself. Today’s episode is on my journey as a volunteer art assistant.
About a week ago, I woke up thinking about how badly introverted I’ve gotten. I work remotely sometimes, when the jobs come in, and other days, I take courses at home. At the end of the day, I’d find myself thinking if I had breakfast, lunch or dinner to eat that day. My major problem is that when I get buried into work, I find it so hard to stop or even think about any other thing. Yes! I think the word Workaholic was specially coined for me. I could count how many times I stepped out of my room and sometimes, I never do. It was that bad. With this being my reality, I was so unsatisfied, and I decided to make a change. So, I decided to volunteer as as an art assistant at an international primary school. It’s such a joy seeing kids express themselves in an artistic way, building confidence through— The power of Art. I’ve been loving the experience, and it has helped me to reconnect with my past self, my past love for Arts.
Working with kids is really amazing, and it’s healing my inner child in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I see kids being confident in ways I was never, full of so…
