When I was told, that I will have a month for practice, I was confused because I couldn’t decide for a long time where I want to go and to perform practice, but after few days I found “ Seskines children day center” and I knew, that this place is exactly that what I’m looking for!
There are ten children two social workers and few volunteers. All the team is so grate, that from the very beginning we became friends. It’s small, calm and cozy place, full of laugh, scream and vitality.
First day was, probably, the most difficult of all. All children were so wild when we came there the first activity was a sport lesson we played football, but they liked it so much so that they remember it until now. And then we got back to day center and sat to do homework. It was not easy task for me, because I was so confused that I don’t remember anything from school and I started to ask how to do this and that, but it was a chance to remember mine lessons and in the end of practice I could do all these tasks easily! After homework we had dinner and then we had lessons of culinary, etiquette and art. So I was responsible for culinary lesson and we had a lot of fun during lessons. With children we were making snow men, pizza, desserts. After lessons we were playing games, cleaning day center and talking about day, if it was good or bad day. So it is our casual day.
Talking about my feelings and emotions, it wasn’t very easy, because at first children weren’t friendly and they weren’t listening to me, but after a week everything was getting better and I found a contact with those children. They wanted to do homework with me and to play, they started to respect and accept me and it was the best feeling, when I felt that somebody needs me and like me. Ofcourse there were days when I thought that I can’t handle anymore and I want to quit, but next morning I was waiting to go to day center again and again. Even now, when practice is over I’m planning to go there and to stay with children as volunteer, because I saw, that children need help and people who care about them.
So to sum up I can say, that I’m so grateful that I found that day center, where I found new friends and place where I want to come back and to see everyone as soon as possible.
