Social Engagement is a compulsory course in semester two. I understand that the purpose of this course is to encourage university students to engage with the society. I still looking forward to this course as it was an opportunity for me to step out from my comfort zone and engage the society as I had been taught to do good, to be generous and willing to share.

Before the program

 After several meeting and discussion among us, we had decided to choose MRSM Pendang, Kedah as our destination for this project. We also had divide into two groups which is unit program and unit technical and logistic. I am in unit technical and logistic. A week before the event, we had workshop during weekend and weekday at night. We need to learn all the cheer and steps for aerobics. We also had being briefing about the flow of the program. During the workshop, I realize that cooperation among the member is important to do the task.

First day

I need to prepared the public address system (PA system) at the hall of the MRSM. I have problem during the setup of PA system because of the projector and the microphone did not work. Fortunately, there are senior student from the MRSM Pendang help me setup the projector and microphone. The open ceremony of the Inspire The Aspire program had been smoothly. I have been paired with Tang Chang Hwa. Our group name is Mighty Teens. I have learns a lot of things during the LDK1 such as I have gain my leadership in assisting with them. Student in MRSM Pendang is very intelligent and creative.

The last day

 In the morning , we have aerobics for the students but I cannot join the aerobics because I need to control the volume of the songs . Unfortunately, during the LDK2 I also cannot join my group because I have to make video for closing ceremony.

I have learn a lot of things during this program such as each person need to cooperate with each other and give commitment to make this project success. Besides, I have gain my leadership skills and confident. I have a lot of fun during the program and I enjoy it. I think the social engagement course is important to university student because it teach us a lot of things such as cooperation, discipline and hard work. I hope in the future I will get more opportunity to join more projects like this.

Last but not least, I would like to say thank you to MRSM Pendang because provide us food and place to stay. Thank you also to our instructor for this social engagement course, DR. Selvi for helping and give advice to us.

 Thank you everyone that involved in this project. Without you this project will never happen.
