First of all I'm very happy to attend this course in university Malaya..if we didn't have social engagement I couldn't have a chance to go so far with all of my course mate. So I really appreciate it !! Thanks to all of us. Our hard work paid. We had done a successful program. Especially thanks to Dr Selvi and Dr Goh for coming to give a talk to MRSM students. They benefit a lots.
Before that, I realize that kedah is a great place. I have around 8 friends from Kedah and all of them are very nice. Undeniable those people from kedah are really good and friendly. When we do not have place to stay, MRSM rent three home stay for us!! And they even provide us free food. Those food are sumptuous. We depart from um around 3pm. We take around 7 hours to reach there. We are tired but excited when we reach the home stay ! They give us a warm welcome~ really feel that kind of warmness. During the programme, I was paired up with Suh Shyan to become the facilitator for group 12 (team black ace). Sound of laughter and joy is always there in our group as I always tried my best to maintain the atmosphere at its peak condition. During the group task, I found out that the students are actually very independent. They don't really rely on us or hoping for any hint from us for the group mission despite the difficulties that they met. They always tried to face the problems and challenges as a team, opinions are always been shared and voiced out in the group before they actually came up with a decision. The teamwork spirit shown in the students is something I'm really amazed and admired. Another touching moment during the programme is that the students actually voiced out actively about what have they learnt when the question is being asked by our course advisor, Dr.Selvi. From the moment, I can felt that the students are actually enjoying every precious moment/seconds during the programme, they really tried to immersed themselves into the environment/programme and tried their best to learn from every aspect possible, they don't just join the programme because their teacher told them to. The most precious moment for me during the whole programme was when the students actually find me for photographing and also to leave a signature in their “friendship booklet”. despite from all the tiredness and exhaustion I experience, the passion and enthusiasm in the students’ self actually motivated me mentally, as it lets me realized that my hard work is not wasted off. I'm also glad that they do not see me as just their facilitator/person-in-charge, instead, they look me more as to their friend. The surprising thing is that they actually asked for my social media contact and hope to continue the friendship with me, I felt so glad at the moment and of course, I shared my contact willingly. What had I learn from the programme??? Leadership skills , this is the first time I become facilitator in such this event. Although they are form 2, is easier to lead rather than those same age students.
Communication skills, it is critical for a facilitator. Since we are in different races and different age,we might have the gap. But in the programme I feel that we do not have much miscommunication then we chat happily. They respect us and obey our rules and even listen to our instruction! Their attitude are good, they behave themselves.
Own self development, I jump out from my comfort zone and experience somethings different. I am able to adapt the environment, the weather and the food!!
