Service blog
This week I perfumed 10 hours of community service for the Special Olympics bocce ball tournament.I was there from 7:30 in the mourning to 5:30 in the afternoon.I also went to a training oration given at my school.The supervisor that was with us was my Sociology teacher Mr.Salituro.I was assigned to court Q for the tournament.The first thing that the court's groups had to do was set up the court.It was changing at first but once everything was put out the pieces were all coming together. .I thought it was an extremely great experience to interact and have fun with the athletes.During the matches I was the score keeper and it was my job to keep track of the score and to announce the winner of the match.I did feel kind of sad because i had to give the team the news that they lost even though how hard they tried.The game was hard to understand at first but was the matches got going I began to really understand the rules clearly.The competitors were very great people.They really got into the game and they were always so nice to me at my court.I would cheer and complement every athlete we had on our court.The most exciting part of the day were the gold medal matches.To be apart of a such important matches was very exciting.Even one of the matches my court had went into overtime which was extremely exiting. To see the cheering and smiling faces of the athletes makes it worth it.They showed me that you can do anything you put your mind too as long as you believe you can and work hard.So one the bus going back I had realize the power volunteering and what a couple hours of someones day can make a great experience for other peoples lives.
