volunteer for my school open house Every year, my college holds a big open house in the beginning of spring. The small college town is usually full with people during the open house weekend. There are also more cars on the road, and the school parking lots are usually full by ten o'clock in the morning. As a freshman, I went to see the parade last year. Leading with marching band, following double decker bus, fire department and various different clubs, show work, it took around thirty minutes for it to finish. After watching the parade, my friend and I went around to see the showcase from almost all department of the school. There were magic show by chemistry department, plant sale and free olive oil by plant department, cat walk by animal science department. In addition, many clubs are holding their fundraising events: they sold many delicious foods around the campus, such as Korean barbecue, sandwiches, ice creams, and falafel. I had a lot of fun last year, so I decided to contribute this year so that people could have as much fun as I did. My volunteer was "everywhere", which I didn't know what I was suppose to do when I signed up for it. It turned out that my job was to watch garbage and made sure people throw their trash in the right garbage bin. My trainer leaded me to the middle of some food booths. There were 6 garbage bins: trash, recycle, compose, each of these have 2 bins. The hardest part about this job is telling people that their food plates and container should go into compose, not trash. Some people throw their plates into the trash can before I pointed out that where these "trash" should go. Being under the sun for two hours, it was very tiring. However, I'm sure that I am a better trash categorier than I used to be. Also I'm very happy for helping in such a big event in my school, and getting a free meal. Volunteer next year? Of course! Just maybe another job.
