Suchang did nothing for the weekend in terms of acads, and she feels damn guilty.
Went for the leadership training on Saturday in school, I like the training, the people were funny and it was pretty useful, especially the legacy one. There's this part of the notes prepared by school that says:
You're leaving the school in 2 years' time. In the last 3 years, you have experienced the joys, the exhilaration, the challenges as a student leader as you worked with others, learnt to be a role model and you see the fruition of several great plans and events for the school. You now know what it takes to be an effective student leader, and you want to live a life worthy of emulation by others and eventually to leave behind a legacy for your juniors to follow, to take the school to even greater heights. What do you want to leave behind? And how are you going to do it?
I marked out that part, similar things had been going through my mind for the past half a year since I entered Year 4. When I saw the word "legacy", I recalled Roy telling me about leaving a legacy behind for the first time 2 years back when I was applying for council in Year 2. I wrote that "I want to join council because I hope to leave behind a legacy when I leave the school" , not knowing what it meant exactly or how to do it. The training about leaving behind a legacy came just in time.
Every part the coach talked about, I kind of reflected back on what I have done in be it, CO, Music Ambassador, cheMagic, CIG or the Council. I started out as one that knew nothing in CO as their president. I have to say that I really learnt my stuff about leadership the hard way, and I'm still not there, talking about personhood and what not. Well i guess NUS High is a learning journey for me in leadership, building from zero to what I have now. I may not be a good leader compared to many others in council but I satisfied with what I have now and is still working to improve. This year, I'm putting all my efforts into mainly the council, and I hope that I'm on a new level in Year 5. Hahah.
Anyway, anyone from Tday Comm, if you're reading this, pardon me for my bads in the planning progress. =P
On a random note, I realised that only when people do not have a strong self confidence that they can truly see the pluses of other people in the area, and learn.
Ah, and there was also some tea party for the alumni in school, quite happy to see Reico, Roy and Eugene again though didn't talk much because of the training, haha. Oh yeah I saw Bryan too (:
Anyway, later on went to Vivo with Yizhuo and co to buy Jiaqin a dress for present but in the end we didn't decide on one. I got a new headphone though :DD I'm so happy (: Not some super awesome sound quality but I went just for it for the design, haha..
Was dead tired after reaching home from Vivo at 10pm, aching all over and caught a cold on the bus. Slept until 10+ today and rushed to Bird Park for duty. I spoke English, Chinese and Jap today, lol x) Went 313 for lunch with parents after that, came back and slept until 6pm T.T Then did teachers day...
so yeah, no sign of acads anywhere for the 2 days, shall go edit my advocacy speech now. =P
Oh, I realised there's a need for me to bring my laptop to school everyday. I need regular dosage of FT.ISLAND videos LOL.
I ❤ Lee Hong Ki (:
