My first
volunteering that I had made was in UM where my college held a running marathon
here around UM compound. I was one of the crews who in charge of the runners’ welfare which was a big deal to me because I never have the experienced of
treating any injuries before. Next in my list was becoming a facilitator which
was organized by my seniors in the physics department. Hence,
when UM include a social engagement as one of our university courses, I become
more interested to do more volunteering works which could of course engagement
me with the society.
We choose to do this ‘Inspire The Aspire’ program at MRSM Pendang, Kedah and becoming facilitators to form 2 students. It was a
wide open opportunity for us to handle and do the planning of the program.
Although some of us were quite busy with other commitments, we were still
managed to do the preparations through a lots of workshops.
The day
the program started I had already felt that we were lucky to be the first UM students to held a social engagement at MRSM Pendang because from the form 2
students excitements and anticipations including the teachers and counselors. A
major part of us had never experienced as facilitators and I was grateful that
I can share my experience that I gained before with them. While I was being in
charge of taking the pictures during the whole program, I was glad that I found
out that my friends were also having as much fun as the students did.
Throughout
this program, I also gained a new experience which was taking the lead for the
senamrobik sessions. I learnt to be more confidence when I was stepping out of
everyone. I was not the type of person who was familiar holding the microphone.
Lucky I was also given the opportunity to speak up in front of the students and
managed to give them some clear explanations and briefings.
Being
the person who was in charge of taking the pictures was not a simple task. I
had to carry the DSLR and also a phone as a backup to take as much pictures
of them as possible because for me every moments were precious. Yet, I did have
fun being the photographer too because I can see the excitement of the students
and my friends were having the whole moments during the entire program.
‘Inspire
The Aspire’ did end, but I believed my friends also agreed with me that besides improving in our soft skills, the
most gainful thing from this program was our bonding. May our friendship last
forever. #RoadToDegree
