Three days not in classroom but in Music room is way better. Aircon! On the first day, when everyone had to line up to get into pardise, I was asked to sit at the back row. Claris, Hui Yi, Grace, Jia Yi, Jia Xuan, Hui Chiann and I sat at the same row. 5 minutes later, I expected someone to at least give orders instead, I saw men in black giving boxes of pens, books, post-its to everyone. I was elated at the sight of gifts.Later on, a lady wearing a white T-shirt with a grey vest while holding the microphone and said," When someone is talking, all eyes must be on the speaker. Thats basic respect." With just one speech and a stern look, 6A and 6B's rowdy pupils immediately settle down. One second passed.Nothing.Two seconds passed. Nothing still. Suddenly, a loud voice startled the whole music room. " Hello everybody!" The instructor's name is called Candice Koh Mei Lien. Once she introduced herself, many people started calling her...
" Ah Lian!"
"Candy!"
" Candy Floss!"
A string of laughter soon followed. She then explained that no one is allowed to call her funny names. Secondly, when she said," Do you understand?" We will reply," Yes I understand!" While sahking our heads. Third, the ground rules: 1) When we want to laugh or clap, we had to give it our 100%. 2) No one is allowed to leave the room without permission. After the introduction, we get down to business.
She first explain to us about the Ultimate Success Formula. The most interesting thing is that we have been unknowingly using this formula when we are young, as young as when we are 3 or 4 years old! Next, she told us about the two animals. Eagle and the Sheep.
Eagle: Taking 100% responsibility. Leadership. Why? The eagle is often seen alone or with only a mate. When they are young, their parnts fed them in their nest. As time proceed forward, the oarents decided that the eaglet is old enough to flap their wings and soar high up.
Sheep: Follow friends Blindly.
Right now, I am a sheep. After wards, Candice taught us about twp types of friends, Crab and Fruitfly friend. The crab friend is a friend that pulls you down. While the friutfly friend lead an example to the others. That is a good friend.
Later part of that day, YY came. He taught us techniques to memorize things faster and easier. To finish it all, we watched a show called Rockie. That movie taught us about perserverence.
The second day, YY taught us the different type of maps. The mind map was very hard. At afternoon, Candice came back. She conducted the proccess that made many people cry. I cried too.
The last day, we prepared for the graduation ceremony. During the ceremony, I saw many adults crying. My mother too.
After this programme, I learnt to be resillient and in giving my 100% in every thing I do.
