5 years ago I joined my local fire brigade. It has changed my life in multiple ways:
- I met a lot of new people who I am mostly good friends with
- you learn to trust people and understand their strengths and weaknesses
- you feel better about yourself because you help others
- my life got more balanced as I have an office job and operating heavy machinery is totally different. I also made my driver's license for trucks, trailers and the fire boat we have.
- there is a lot of testosterone involved with fire fighters ;) so I learned to better deal with conflicts
If you only have a couple of days/weeks this might not be for you as this volunteer job requires a lot of dedication. But it definitely has changed my life very much to the better!
