It was my first time doing volunteer job for Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore.
It's one of the biggest event which I had taken part in. There were 60,000 participants and 6,000 volunteers participating in it.
I was assigned to Baggage part which was in charged in the collection of baggage after the runners completed their run. Although it was quite tiring,where I was needed to usher in and out to look for the runners' bib number,find out their baggage,make sure they check their belongings before they leave and make a mark on their bib after they have taken their baggage.
It involved a lot of team work in this. Everyone had their respective responsibilities and all of us were committed in what we were doing. Always SMILE no matter how rude or unfriendly the person we dealt with. This is what I learnt.
It's not an easy job,I admitted that I did grumble,complain and blame the leaders when I was asked to do those so-called 'sai kang'...we needed to clean the place after they collected all the baggages. From taking out the number tags sticked on the floor,clean out the rubbish,move all the logistic items like tables and chairs back to the respective places etc etc etc...it was really taxing especially when we had been keeping vigil since 2am..
In conclusion I gained very important experience through this volunteer and of course I learnt a lot of things .
