.... a current threesixty in Waterloo what her experience was like so far;
1) Has threesixty met your expectations?
I've been doing a lot more than expected, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I'm really enjoying being busy and having more responsibility! I'm especially enjoying the schools work I'm doing at the moment, and the work I'm doing at the Coffee House.
2) Do you have a particularly memorable moment that you can tell us about since you've started threesixty?
Well... I've been ill for the last couple of weeks, and this week I started back, and visited the school I volunteer with. What really struck me was how many of the kids asked how I was, and if I was feeling better. I feel like I've made some really genuine relationships with the kids and staff, and although I'm only there once a week, the work that I do does actually make a difference.
3)What's been your biggest challenge since starting threesixty?
I think being given the responsibility of an authoritative figure has been a big challenge, I'm used to being the kids friends, but I'm rubbish at telling them off. Its a hard thing, knowing you're not put there to be their friend! But I'm still learning, and enjoying the journey :P
