Overall Experience   
My volunteer experience had helped me gain patience and affection for others.

I had volunteered at the New Horizons in Woburn, Massachusetts. When I volunteered I would send letters and do activities with other senior citizens. This experience had made me learn how to understand others and have love for them. posted by Phil_Moleus on September 14, 2003
