“Recently I finished my first esc volunteering. What we did was teach lessons in schools, organize quizzes, games and a bunch of other activities. Unexpectedly, I fell in love with working with children, even though it seemed very difficult at the beginning.
Another nice part of the project is the people.We were a big but friendly team from 8 countries. Many hours spent talking about our cultures, history and just about life made us so close that on the last day it was incredibly sad to say goodbye and I couldn’t stop the tears.
For me, this project is about novelty and discovery: every day I learned interesting facts about living in Europe, learning languages and communicating with people who have different experiences.
I even changed a lot as a person because I constantly faced challenges. For example, the first week of communicating exclusively in English was incredibly difficult and stressful.However, now I feel comfortable speaking another language, although I still make a lot of mistakes.
Also here I performed in front of a large audience for the first time, fortunately, I was supported by my team and even a girl from Poland.
Without a doubt, this is the best decision in my life, invaluable experience and warm memories.I am infinitely grateful to all the people with whom I spent this month and even more grateful to @ngo_stella_ for giving me the opportunity to be here and @biemsumdu for quality education at any time,” first-year student Liza Shchegelska shares her memories.
