What did you dislike about your other volunteer experiences?
- Nothing
- It was hard when I had to volunteer when I was really busy.
- I WISH I COULD USE MY INTERESTS AND TALENTS AS A WRITER TO VOLUNTEER
IN SOME WAY.
- I did not like doing filing at the hospital because I found the job a
bit tedious and boring.
- It wasn't put to a use (so far) commensurate with the time and effort
I invested.
- DID NOT ANSWER
- Read the above. (Id like to volunteer for someone I know is really
helping the world. For example, I volunteered for the Red Cross, but they
never did anything and that was annoying.)
- The only dislike that I had about my other volunteer experiences was
that I was unable to do more volunteer work, and was unable to acquire
transportation. Therefore, I feel virtual volunteering will help me get
around this.
- none
- nothing
- I loved everything!

- n/a
- Nothing
- What I disliked about my volunteer experiences is that it didn't
really help me in the field that I hope to pursue in college and as a
career, which is working with computers.
- DID NOT ANSWER
- DID NOT ANSWER
- I don't like working on committees.
- Sometimes the things I did seemed meaningless, and I didn't like it
when I spent three-hour shifts doing homework instead of volunteer work.
- Being from a small time, it is difficult to find a volunteer
opportunity that is sustainable for longer periods of time. Many of the
"bigger" events are far away and hard to get transportation to.
- Meetings 3x's a week that conflict with my personal life.
- Having some committee members who are not committed.
- The disorganization of the troop. As assistant, I was limited in how
much organization I could impose without upsetting the Leader.
- N/A
- that I had to work to their schedule, in their location.
- Nothing really. Well, moving from one place to another when hard
work, thats why I want to volunteer online.
- Sometimes I was not given anything to do.. Rather I ended up just
sitting there, wasting my time because I was not helping anybody.
- the traveling through the city.
- Not having more time with the people we helped. We had meetings only
once a week.
- People who didn't care.
- Some bureaucracy there and reluctance to change. Filling out forms.
- i didn't like some of the other volunteers, but i tried not to voice
my opinions because i knew it might cost me my services.
- N/A
- Sometimes people became frustrated with their project because they
couldn't understand and there was nothing more I could do for them.
- DID NOT ANSWER
- Nothing.
- DID NOT ANSWER
- Sometimes you are assigned work that does NOT match your skills.
- Nothing yet.
- In all my time spent volunteering, I really can say there was nothing
I disliked about my experiences.
- The only thing I can think of that I wasn't too thrilled about was
when I "worked" with the schizophrenic lady. I was not pleased with having
to go into the dark building --- a state facility --- and have to go through
several locked and barred doors to get to the room to meet her in. This was
one reason why I didn't continue after my school project committment was
over.
- Nothing
- Nothing really.
- I cant say that I disliked anything.
- Not getting recognition sometimes or having to force/bribe people to
help out.
- I honestly can't think of anything in either of these experiences that
I did not like.
- Sometimes I stood there and I looked at those children faces and I
wandered why these things have to happen to something so small.
Sometimes
I wished that everybodys heart to be as big as mine.
- DID NOT ANSWER

language.
- DID NOT ANSWER
- It was difficult to participate in as many activities as I would have
liked to without a car.

from the abuse center. I do not always know the right things to say or
do.
