Thursday, May 15, 2008 a week in RP with Trainer WeiHong
as you all can see, i promoted myself to the position of a trainer! thats because im currently running Adventure Learning Programme for the Republic Polytechnic year 1 students.
yes that's seriously out of my jobscope and furthermore, im trained unofficially! GOOD LUCK MAN. hahaha..
but as a professional, i will do my best in ensuring that my students work in the safest and most conducive environment.
but theres a little problem. as you guys know im not very good at talking and now, i will always have to talk to kids. and im seriously pissed with the arrangement that i need to be a "TOUR GUIDE" in the OPEN HOUSE 2008. more on that later..
so coming back to the ALP, i must confess its really fun watching the kids scared out of their wits when approaching/trying out the high rope course. but on the other hand, when they make the first step out and completing the course, its the sense of achievement and definitely, you will also feel proud of them in overcoming their own fear. sometimes the enemy is none other than yourself. and when there's one entire class which turn up, you feel even better. and when that class is so united and supportive, encouraging their friends and cheering them on, even lagi best. one more point is RP students need to write reflection journal and when they write about you, you know somehow or rather, you made an impact in their life. =) and and and.. when the students remember you and greet upon seeing you.. that feeling, INDESCRIBABLE. end point is, it isn't that bad to be training them, minus the debriefing and frontloading. they really sucks. (got year 1 students still think im a student! haa.. some even hug me when while im running my first.. LMAO - not trying to showoff there but ya..)
and the OPEN HOUSE thingy when i am the guide for DOVER ITE... they are just.. *speechless*
