Volunteering means to help out a program or a group of people out of kindness or simply because you want to. It can also give you experience for getting a job or managing your own facility. Volunteering adds to your interests and finding what you want to do in life as far as your goals. I think that my school makes it so mandatory, so I can gain experience and help out in society. I am currently volunteering at a horse ranch and attaining lessons as well. I love the therapeutic nature of the riding lessons. I love to volunteer there, because I am in a mutual bond with my horse. It is a world away from cell phones and school where I can run wild through the grassy walls and cool wind. Even if I am volunteering and helping out with trail rides, I still feel at one with nature. I've been volunteering at the ranch for almost 6 years and I am yet to feel tired of it.
