The last two days have been pretty challenging. It's the first time I'm facilitating the Leadership Challenge for students in its entirety. For those who have been following my blog, you'd know that barely three months ago, I had to conduct an Introduction workshop for the teachers on the Leadership Challenge. That was pretty nerve-wrecking. But that was only a 10am to 3pm kinda thing and I needn't do the whole workshop, just an intro.
This time round, I was conducting the complete TLC workshop for the students, spread across 2 days, from 8.30am to 3.30pm. I was kinda nervous at the start cause I wasn't really sure if I was all ready to conduct it. I had most of the things in order... reports, powerpoints, logistics... but it was just this fear that the whole workshop would end up being a big bore and waste of time.
At the end of these two days, my first response is to breathe a huge sigh of relief. I'm glad my 'virgin' workshop is over. It certainly wasn't perfect and there are areas I really need to work on and improve, but I think on the whole, it was ok. There were times when it got a little demoralizing when I noticed students nodding off or spacing out. Then of course, there were pupils who weren't really interested to take part in the activities. Regardless of all that, I am optimistic that most of the participants were able to take something useful away from the two days spent together.
Well, once again, the holidays are coming to an end. There's a prefects' meeting tomorrow, then I have two days to get stuff ready for the new term. I am so very tempted to go away for those two days.. take a short trip to Hong Kong or something. But I noe the reality is that there is plenty to do before the term starts, especially with Youth Week kicking off the term. Well, all good things must come to an end I suppose.
Let the games begin!
