There are always a lot of things going on around the world such as the new vaccine passport and the election. I am underage so I can’t vote yet but I can still contribute and make a difference!
For the election, Ruby Sahota and her partners decided to open a campaign and advertise for the liberal party of Canada.
This includes calling people and asking them if they are going to vote, and if they want a lawn sign. Another job is to knock on doors delivering brochures.
They needed volunteers for these jobs so me and my brother went and checked it out.
We went door knocking, called people and did data management as well.
I got to meet Ruby Sahota and a bunch of other really kind people helping promote Ruby.
Of course, I can’t vote yet and even if I could, I wouldn’t know who to vote for.
Nonetheless, volunteering for this was very fun and I learned a lot.
I practiced my skills on how to talk to strangers since I couldn’t while in quarantine, I learned about data management and found out a way to not get scared when I see a dog, I don’t think it worked though.
For jobs like these and many other jobs, you need a voice.
We’ve all been in quarantine, and we have all pretty much forgotten our social skills.
One way I raise my voice is to provide a good argument. An argument with proof and key points can take you really far. Think of it as an essay, provide key points and support these points with proof. Only then will you educate others about the world.
“Raise your words, not your voice.”
