Personal Narrative: My Experience At Scaregrove

935 Words4 Pages

The event I volunteer was at Scaregrove. I was helping out with the admission in the late evening shift. Scare grove is an annual event and is the most atmospheric Halloween event around, it is popular for older kids and teens for its frightening haunted house. There’s haunted house, jumpy house, live music and magic shows, carnivals rides and games throughout the wood, and crafts. Every year, this time around San Francisco Recreation & Parks have this Halloween event to celebrate this once a year holiday with the community.
The admission area where I was helping out is the first place that everybody needs to go to pay in order to get in to the event. I assisted people in the line and making sure they pay before letting them in the event. I see a lot of family with their kids …show more content…

The coordinators seem stressed out because it was unorganized and they needed more help. There were a lot of people walking in and out from the entrance when they should let people exist on one side and have the other side of people that are trying to get into the event after paying. Later in the night, we had more park rangers help out by assisting the line which made the experience easier for people to exit and enter into the park.
There were a lot of pay high school volunteers at the event. I feel like I was the only one that was in college. At first, I was nervous because I didn’t see anyone I know or any familiar faces from our class that was volunteering. But throughout the night I met these two volunteers and we work together throughout the night. They both don’t know each other, but had volunteered together at another event before. They both were really nice and friendly. They made my experience volunteering at the event fun and not boring. We help each other out and we also get to enjoy the event when we were on a

It was a great pleasure to learn about the ASLHS and see the awards given for students who have done fantastic work with ASL. The event really invigorated me and made me want to continue refining me ASL skills after I graduate and become more integrated with the large community here in Seattle. On the final not of all of this, I was enjoying myself so much that I nearly forgot to get a photo of myself.

The car wash is a fundraiser held during the summer prior to the start of the fall semester, it is a bonding time between the team to get to know the incoming girls as well as giving to the community by washing their cars at a good price, where all the money goes into our fund to lower the price of dues and other necessities. Communication grows during the fundraiser because we are motivated to work together as one to get things done everyone has a part to make the fundraiser a successful event. In my personal experience the fundraising events was very welcoming because the returning members give advice on the incoming year and how to prepare yourself for it.

In addition to the money it raised, my job was important to me because it gave me a love of volunteering. As I mentioned above, this was my first attempt at volunteering, so before this, I never volunteered.
