Last night, being in the last few weeks of my college course and having just done my last Team v event, I was thinking back. In the last year I have:
. Completed hundreds of hours of volunteering
. Reached thousands of young people through Team V and got to volunteer with some of the greatest people I know
.Almost finished a college course up to merit standard
.Reached many other volunteering achievements
I know I perhaps keep doing this. Going over what I have done but to be fair, looking back, it is kind of hard to believe. There may have been hard moments but I've learnt a lot from it and I'm proud of the whole of Team v for the change that we have made. The saying "You learn something new everyday" perhaps is sometimes pushing it but with college and volunteering, I probably have and I've enjoyed it.
Yes, fair enough, I did come back from Team v Residential 2 and almost fall asleep in my tea but for the fulfillment I have got out of working with some inspirational leaders and gaining skills that are really valuable is what makes it worth it. Additionally, contributing to many consultations as part of my volunteering is something I will never forget. It might sound boring but to get the chance to do this is an honor.
Apart from the volunteering and college, it's been fun to meet new people and in a way, become more independent. The great thing about college and volunteering is that there is that element of it but perhaps equally important is that through Team v, I get to tell the stories and hear about stories of the most inspirational young people. To take the example of Stephen Sutton, who was taken to the hearts of the nation after his recent bucket list challenge for Teenage Cancer Trust in his last days. Although this is an example of something national, it is still great to say that there are young people who want to make a change for the better.
The great thing about the last twelve months is that I've been able to see the good work of young people from various sides. This is firstly, quite fun but also something that you gain from yourself and you learn from. I have five weeks left of college to get a merit grade and then, over the 12 weeks I have off, I am going to see how many hours I can do of volunteering. sounds good to me. What do you think?
Finally, if Team v sounds good and you would like to be our successors, please take a look at http://goo.gl/tGHD5t to see if it takes your fancy. I hope you enjoyed my post and please leave comments if you want. Team V Out!
