English Girl
I was bored and looking at craigslist.org for any job openings just like any other day and ended up browsing some volunteer ads. I came across an ad for someone looking to find a English conversational partner that lives in La Mirada. I only half-heartedly replied saying I would be willing to help, but the person ended up emailing me back. She's korean and has been working as a nurse in Korea for 7 years and is now trying to become and work as a nurse in the states. I'm not sure if I actually want to go through with this, but at the same time, I have some extra time and wouldn't mind somebody to talk to. I guess if I can help her inn anyway become more comfortable living here I would be doing a good deed. But what am I really looking for? It's volunteering so obviously I don't get paid and my time could be spend doing something else. Maybe it's a part of God's plan, telling me to stop thinking about myself. Perhaps I can learn something through this experience. I've decided to be brave and give it a go and see how it goes. I'm going to try and focus on the real matter at hand here: donating my time and efforts to help somebody in need. I haven't really ever done anything like this before so I don't know what to expect but here goes nothing.
