Reflective Journal- Week 4

 

As I was going for this lecture I was so scared since it was our (my partner and I) turn to do presentation on Cambodia. Unfortunately that week our lecturer came back from holiday so we didn’t do the presentation, which was a relief for me. Instead we had a an ice-breaking session and then we had to prepared for next week because that was when we were going to SMK Convent Sentul.

 

What I really liked about the seminar this week is the ice-breaking session was everyone had to go in front and answer a question. And another part was when we were practicing the ice- breaking for next week.

Starting with ice-breaking session were we had to answer the question on the board. This session was a good experience for me since I realized that some of my classmates had lost very important people in their lives. It was sad and I learned that it is important to cherish people close to me since one day they will be gone.

 

As for the rehearsal of the kind of ice-breaking we had to do in SMK Convent Sentul this was more than fun. During this session I just found myself interact with my classmates whom I have never talked to them since I joined this course. I felt really nice being able to talk to them, and was surprised as I had a wrong perception of their personalities. Most of them were just simple and easy to deal with. Which made me think that may be if we had an ice-breaking session from the beginning then it would really help me to know my classmates well.

 

In the future in situation that I have to meet new people I think I will try to approach people instead of waiting for them to reach me. Moreover as a result of this session I have realized that it is important to ask on matters that I don’t understand instead just having my own perceptions. In additional to that I discovered that it through very small thing that people get comfortable with each other, for instance during the whole practice of the ice-breaking it was like a very minor thing to do but it had a lot of impact to me.
