Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.
Quite a few years ago, I was volunteering at an organization when I was asked to be the president of my town chapter. They were in a tough spot, but the past one up and quit with no warning. It began as a year commitment. And then longer is a want to.
I worked my butt off, doing fundraisers, working on bettering my community by donating money to the food pantry, and helping the veterans get disability, and assisting in getting their needs met.
The issue was I was doing in with one other lady, and the other 9 who were volunteers also, said they would help but when it came down to the wire, they would back out. I would call them out on it, and it would become a “drama fest.”
I did my year of service and then stopped. It was an extremely stressful period of time for me. It would have been great if people would have worked together instead of making everything stressful.
I have a difficult time with volunteering for something and then being lazy and not helping. If people aren’t going to help they shouldn’t volunteer for anything that requires them to give of themselves.
