[Special Article] Thoughts of APEC Volunteers

Published: November 12, 2014 Edit:

[Editor’s note]APECThe meeting is over and w88 casino volunteers have successfully completed this volunteer task. After several days of work, the volunteers gained a lot. The following are the volunteers’ reflections on volunteering.

()

Three years in college, I have participated in many volunteer activities, and this time I served asAPEC2014The experience of volunteering during the Leadership Conference Week was the most unforgettable and rewarding one for me.

Before taking up the job, my friends and I were very excited at the thought of serving delegations from various economies. Familiarize yourself with the representative manual repeatedly, check common polite expressions online, and practice the basic etiquette learned during training……These things filled my life in the week before I started work.

510206_10256——HNA Marriott Hotel. Perhaps due to the sufficient study and training before, I successfully answered all the questions raised by the representatives. This incident gave me great motivation and gave me greater confidence to complete my next tasks well.

In the end, with my own efforts, this good working status accompanied me to successfully complete this tripAPECVolunteer service during the leadership conference week, but during the work process, I was always worried that my service would not satisfy the foreign guests. On the last day of work, an American representative came to the information desk and wrote on our guestbook when he was about to leave after checking out:Bye Bye Beijingwith love, and said somethingThank you, at that time, I really felt that my hard work of getting up early and staying late for a week was worth it!

Although throughoutAPECI was just a very small terminal worker during the leaders' meeting week, but my little contribution made the foreign guests have a better impression of Beijing and China; although my work cannot be said to be perfect or great, it can contribute toAPEC15031_15070Sacrifice the small self and achieve the greater self15827_15858

I am not a person who particularly pays attention to current political news, but when I saw US Secretary of State John Kerry in person, and when my friends met Obama and Putin, I began to seize every time I went to the employee cafeteria to learn about current affairs, and watch CCTV during mealsNews Live RoomIt has become the thing I look forward to most every day. Because I only serve the wholeAPECMeeting with a small group of people, but the most important question——I need to find out what the delegations discussed today. I needed this answer to strengthen my confidence in volunteering. By paying attention to current affairs, we can develop a strong sense of national responsibility and the mission of the times. This is a quality that contemporary young people must possess, and it is also an unshirkable responsibility of contemporary young people. And this is what I gained the most from this volunteer service.

APEC——Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. Looking at the economic cooperation and development in Asia and the Pacific from the perspective of a college student volunteer at the hotel information desk, what I see is: APECThe organization has played an irreplaceable role in promoting regional w88 and investment liberalization and strengthening economic and technological cooperation among members. It is an important forum for promoting economic growth, cooperation, w88, and investment among various regions in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Chinese dream is actually the dream of youth; if young people have dreams, then China has dreams. As a contemporary youth, I also feel that because ofAPEC2014I have a dream: let the world know Chinese youth and China.

APEC2014, thank you!APEC2014, Goodbye!

After the beginning of winter, the weather in Beijing is getting cooler day by day, the blue sky is still there, and the leaves are gradually turning yellow. In the best season in Beijing,APECThe holiday is going on smoothly as scheduled, and for the volunteers, the ten-day volunteer service is gradually coming to an end.

APECThe volunteer front is very long, from the interview in early October, the training at the end of October to the official appointment in early November, from the beginningAPECI don’t know much about it, I came into contact with it during the trainingAPECSpirit, until you see the streets and alleys of Beijing are full of themAPECBreathe, then11month10Made of brilliant fireworks blooming over the Bird's Nest at nightAPECThe words seem to have gradually become a part of our lives, and we are also proud of it.

ParticipatingAPECPreviously, I half-jokingly told my roommate:GoAPECBecause I want to see Obama!Unexpectedly, I was assigned to the hotel where Obama stayed. After ten days, although I didn’t meet Obama as expected, I found that he was hereAPECWhat you get from volunteering is far more than meeting Obama.

Each hotel has nine volunteers. We are in a group with two girls from Beijing Forestry University and are responsible for hotel consultation and car following services. Because the guests in the hotel are quite special and the security measures in the United States are extremely strict, we experienced some twists and turns in the first day of our work. However, through the efforts of the manager and dispatcher, our team got on duty normally and completed the task excellently. During these ten days, we saw the bright sky at 6 a.m. in Beijing, the cold wind blowing at 11 p.m. in Beijing, communicated with the Chinese Ambassador to the United States, and successfully picked up and dropped off foreign guests between the Congress and the hotel. The experiences and feelings we heard from the volunteer representatives during the training finally became our own wealth during these ten days.

Most of the girls in w88 casino are responsible for the car-following service. The uniform is a blue jacket, so some people call the car-following volunteersSmurf. During the entire ten days of work, people wearing work badges could often be seen near the hotel, on the roadside, and on the roadSmurfOur figures are familiar and extremely kind. They use fluent English to talk to foreign guests and serve them with enthusiasm. More than one dispatcher said:The foreign economic and w88 students are very good at English!

Some people say that the work of volunteers is actually the end of the entire activity. The most basic, but also the most indispensable. In the eyes of family and friends,APECVolunteer35695_357802280The concerted efforts of volunteers who stick to various positions make the wholeAPECThe meeting was held more successfully.

At the end of the last day of work, sitting in the driver’s car on the way back, I felt a little reluctant to leave, and the evening sky in Beijing was also very beautiful and unusually beautiful——The sun shines warmly on the road, and the clouds hang in the sky, as if you can pick one by stretching your hand out of the car window. The sky is clear and the traffic is busy. Everything is like these ten days, full of warm colors.

Unknowingly,APECThe volunteer journey has come to an end.APECWhat the volunteer experience has brought me is not only the so-called bragging rights, but also the enrichment of my thoughts. How to exert the greatest value in the most basic position through teamwork; how to adjust your mentality and actively face gains and losses. These are all gains in the volunteer process; the deep friendships forged with the partners who work together are even more precious wealth! ThanksAPEC, thank you for every lucky blessing in your growth!

WithAPECThe meeting is coming to an end, and our volunteer work officially ends today. Looking back on the past few months of preparation, from registration to interview, from training to on-the-job employment, it was indeed a rare experience. I gained a lot from this experience; although I have some regrets, those are the memories that enhance my memory and will make me cherish what I saw, heard and felt during this time even more. AlthoughAPECThe gorgeous fireworks are fleeting, but the spirit of volunteer service will carry long-lasting beauty and be passed on among us forever.

Today is the last day to work in the consulting group. The daily work content has not changed much like the fresh air in the past few days. As evening approached, we sat at the workbench in the hotel lobby and watched the important foreign guests walk out of the door. We finally felt relieved as the mission was over. Maybe our work is not eye-catching, but like many other volunteer groups, it is an indispensable part. I believe that our efforts in the past few days are worthy of itVolunteer's title, and this timeAPECThe significance of the volunteer experience to me will be discussed in detail in the future.APEC, thank you, goodbye!

What I miss

What I miss is the dazzling and exquisitely designed fireworks over the Bird's Nest. In the spring, summer, autumn and winter, things change and the stars change. Thirteen years of time fly by. Step by step, the Chinese dragon takes off and rises. Twenty years pass by. How lucky are we to participate in it and fight on the front line in our long life.

What I miss is sitting on the shuttle bus between the hotel and the National Assembly at the beginning of winter at 4 degrees Celsius, waiting silently and giving seriously. In my free time, I chatted with the driver and learned more about the amiability and respectability of old Beijingers.

What I miss isRecite fastBeautiful smileWell said’s volunteer badge is the pride and pride that Peruvian government procurement officials feel when they give us a thumbs up to express their gratitude and praise.

What I miss is waiting in front of the TV with my friends to watch the live broadcast of the dinner, as if I were sitting around with my family waiting for the Spring Festival Gala, watching the leaders of various countries coming in droves;New Chinese outfit’s gorgeous appearance is really amazing, the designers are so ingenious:Whether it is the perfect combination of stand-up collar and placket raglan sleeves, or the wonderful collision of jacquard swastika pattern and Song brocade fabric, it fully demonstrates the Chinese style and fashion trends.

What I miss is that when a colleague had a fever or cold, the girls would volunteer to take over and arrive at work at five in the morning without any regrets. Their courage and responsibility are admirable.

What I miss is that after a busy day, my friends and I would go to the hotel to watch movies, play games and chat about gossip. Although we met by chance, we had the same interests and talked about everything.

What I miss is the warm time spent in the volunteer home. At the birthday banquet, the birthday girls wore hats and everyone sat around five squares with printed on them.APECSing happy birthday in front of the cake with the words "Happy Birthday"——This birthday will never be forgotten in this lifetime.

What I miss is singing and cheering up with my companions, This is an eternal long-distance run/It’s not easy/Come here/Play your role well/Go all out every second, every word is the voice of my heart.

What I miss is the happiness of enduring hardships with you. Ten days is too short and fleeting; ten days is too long and is long enough to be remembered for a lifetime. I have never been so close to my motherland, I have never experienced such a grand event so vividly, and I have never been so reluctant to say goodbye to anyone.

Although I have regrets along the way, I have no regrets.

APEC, Goodbye;UIBE, we are back.
