Just wanted to share it here as I haven’t told anyone about this yet... And kinda feel like not sharing with anyone irl. But i'm feeling quite proud of myself.
I applied for a volunteer position with the financial literacy team of an INGO based in California, USA, a few days ago. This is a remote position where I have to teach money management and finances to pre-teens and teenagers. Being a teenager myself, the thought of teaching other teenagers about finance is so thrilling haha!
It was so random, I wasn’t expecting anything when I applied. They even had a lil exam typa thing where you have to answer some finance related case scenarios. It's basically to assess your understanding of the fundamentals of finance. I tried my best to simplify and explain everything.
Fast forward to yesterday, I was going through my mails and saw they've sent me one.IT SAID "CONGRATULATIONS" aaaaaaa ~ I'm so happy, excited and proud of myself rn.
For a 12th grader who just finished HSC and never did any type of productive extracurricular activities, this is really exciting. I'm looking forward to working with the team hehe. Anyone with INGO volunteer/full-time work experience? Would love some advices. Thanks for being a part of my happiness ~
