Voluntering has been a great pleasure that I have been continuously doing for the last five years, starting from the time I was a newbies when all the seniors were oh-so-intimidating up till the time when those seniors actually let me help them to conduct each session, making decisions, entrusting it all, and hand-in-hand making fun of the newbies. I have the fortunate of having such a complete friends of my year who share the same belief and enthusiasm everytime we do our part in volunteering, it makes everything a whole lot easier.
But, it has always been the kids that made us stay. Well, that made me stay. The always 17-18 years old audience, at the verge of blowing off their excitement due to the thought of living alone for one year with God-knows-who. Of course, it's impossible to compare the students, each year has their own stories. This year though, it was a heck of honor to take part to. Not being a part of the committee was something new, it's hard to get as close and to familiar yourself with the kids. They are simply lovable and is unique in each own way.
I feel very old this year in all its true sense, only able to visit after working hours. Yet, as I skip work to fill in some session, it was worth seeing the passion and excitement and the never ending lesson that they shared.
I promised to put an entry for them in Chapter Jakarta's website. But as technology fails me, the server was over capacity and I couldn't put their pictures there. So, please meet the 22 Jakarta Chapter's students, who are ready to rock the world.
