Scene to read · Self-awareness, Ethics
Will they still need me?
You are a longtime community hall volunteer who knows the building's quirks and welcomes new room hirers.
At the boiler room doorway, Luciana, the volunteer coordinator, 66, and Lucrezia, a newer volunteer, 36, discuss Lucrezia's offer to document your unwritten hall orientations. Safety procedures are already posted; equipment problems go to qualified staff. Your visits explain room layouts, storage and cleanup expectations, but some hirers struggle to schedule them. You hesitate: a self-service guide would help, but these visits are your main source of connection and feeling needed.
The scene
Lucrezia: Could I write your orientation tips so hirers don't need appointments?
Luciana: Your visits make people feel welcome; a guide might lose that.
Lucrezia: We could offer both, but some people just want the instructions.
Luciana: Would you help draft it, even if fewer people request visits?
The two questions
- 1How would you respond to this proposal and your own hesitation, and why?
- 2Describe a time you realized that feeling needed was influencing how you helped others. What did you learn or change?
What raters look for
- Self-awareness
- Recognizes own biases, limits and emotions, and seeks and uses feedback.
- Ethics
- Weighs competing duties honestly, protects people from harm, and stays accountable to rules and values.
