I played http://freerice.com/#/english-vocabulary/1370 for an hour straight(Service)

Description and Goals

Since I personally do not have any source of income that can be used to donate to charities and I do not have much time outside of school to go to local charities and help out due to the many activities I have going on, I decided to harness an hour of free time I had to research ways of helping the less fortunate virtually. After some research, I recognized that this website was a reliable, effective, and quick way to raise funds to purchase food for the less fortunate. In addition, I played it at hard level which allowed me to add more words to my vocabulary.

I found this reliable website that donates rice to children across the world in need as a source of food by me playing a game that tests my terminology which  is very effective because it helps me grow as a person and at the same time helps people in need. Furthermore, I came to the realization that if more people played we can help more people therefore, I will attempt to convince some of my friends to play the game therefore, helping more people.

So far, by using this website, I have gained new vocab and improved my communication skills while helping feed people in need. Unfortunately a disadvantage to this experience is that there is no real way for me to see the effect my activities have on people. However, knowing that I have made a difference is a feeling I would not trade with anything in the world. 

At times, it got very boring and repetitive but , I decided to turn on some music and switch the environment I was working in. Further on, I have convinced a few of my classmates to take on this activity and explained to them how it works.

My final hour of playing freerice was a lot more rewarding than the other sessions because I could feel the difference I was making due to the effort I put in. I wish I was a little bit more productive during the hours I played. Although, I do feel like I was productive, I also feel like if I had wasted less time playing around with the music, I could've helped out more people. However, that did help me stay on target and finish the hours in game. Further on, I was very careful to make sure that I spent at least an hour per session and not do any less (sometimes played for longer). The experience has been very rewarding due to the feeling of being useful for global issues (No poverty, and zero hunger). The feeling is amazing and I will definitely be doing this in my free time now because I feel like I am actually making a difference despite not seeing the outcome. Moreover, I will be inviting a lot of my friends to do so too.
