Hobby in the life of most people takes an important place. And I'm no exception. My hobby from an early age to collect stamps and coins from different countries. The majority of the samples was passed to me by my father, who in turn loved to collect them when he was younger. His collection was full of photos of celebrities, football, museums, etc. He was a true philatelist. Even if I sometimes join the collection, I still have not collected as many stamps as him. Coin collecting is another hobby of mine. It all started with the fact that my parents brought me from their trip to Rome a bit of foreign money.After that, I asked all my friends and relatives who traveled to other countries, so they brought me some authentic coins. At the moment my collection is quite impressive. I have cents, Australian cents, the Chinese yuan and many other coins. You can say I'm a fan, but those who collect coins at the professional level, are called numismatists. And yet it is not the only thing that interests me. Two years ago I started collecting cute spoons from different cities and countries. They are usually covered with silver or gold and contain tiny labels or jewelry. Honestly, this is the most beautiful collection in my house. My first spoon was from England. I bought it during a school trip with our class teacher and Director. After that, where I saw a symbolic teaspoon, I bought it. In addition, my parents also brought me some of the exhibits from different parts of the world. Today in my collection for 26 spoons.
Volunteering not only helps and benefits one's community but, in a way, it benefits the volunteers themselves. For instance, I believe volunteering makes a person feel worthy, as if they've accomplished something because they made someone else's life better or they made a change in their community somehow. Volunteering also shows that that person is generous, compassionate, and good-hearted, because he/she is kind enough to give up a few hours of their time and put it into their community. It also serves others without expecting to get anything out of their service. I believe that everyone should give back to their community because volunteering will make your community a more comforting and pleasing place to live in.
Park Terrace at Radisson is where I've been volunteering since March of 2003. Park Terrace was established in 2002, and is a Residential Care Community that includes a memory-impaired neighborhood. As a Residential Care Community, Park Terrace is not allowed to provide medical services. It is not a "nursing home ?. Park Terrace exists expressly to provide a protected living environment for those adults requiring such care and supervision.
As a volunteer, my duties were to basically entertain the elderly. For example, I would take them for walks, or play ping pong/pool with them, whichever they preferred. In addition, I would read the newspaper for them if they asked. I would also hold ?coffee club' every Sunday at 10:00 A.M. where they got their choice of coffee or tea and some treats to go along with their hot drink. Sometimes, I even gave them manicures. Other times, I would just simply talk to them and they would tell me their life stories, and about when they were younger. It was interesting to hear about their life and how different things were back then.
