Adaptable

I think this is my most dominant trait that I have learned to use more and more since I began volunteering.  Being adaptable in the world is so valuable and I always was adaptable in the sense that If something was expected and I was not expecting it or did not complete it I could adapt in order to make it work.  Since I started volunteering though, I learned more ways to be adaptable including working in groups that I am unfamiliar with, talking to new people and big crowds, making statements based on other people.  It really has made a difference with my school also, and I am noticing I am more on top of assignments, appointments and things that are asked of me.

Curious

Over my volunteer time and hanging out with the kids I really haven't gained any curiosity.  The only thing that is related to being curious that I have gained is the seeking of knowledge and I tend to want to know more about the kids disabilities, and I always am asking them questions and trying to relate to them as much as I can, especially during the game we played for the kids that can’t navigate crowds, attached in the picture below. I didn't particularly think I would gain any curiosity, but I can see how other volunteer work would push someone to be more curious.  Overall I wouldn't say I am more curious outside of the Blizzard Foundation but a lot more than I was at the beginning when I am actually doing my volunteer work.
