Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone (again)

Image
 Hi everyone, its beginning of my 6th semester and I don't think I'm able to blog if the semester starts (hopefully I can remember I have a blog). So after I volunteer for Speak Up Project, there was an Instagram post about becoming an Ambassador for AIESEC for my university. Guess what........ yes I applied. Honestly I applied at the very last minute on the last day of the submission. At a first thought becoming an ambassador was a big NO for me because it says that you have to be an influencer person and I am not an influencer. I can even count with one hand how many friends I have. But I figure ok la I give it a try. AND GUESS WHAT yas me *cries* I never thought in a million years I would be accepted cause me a very simple plain hanis. I still remember the interview they ask like  "What do you think is marketing" "You wrote in your weakness is talking in front of a crowd. How do you overcome it"  It was a very short like 15 minutes interview I think. To t...

Stepping out of my comfort zone

I just ended my 4 weeks of Speak Up Project  *me after having 4 weeks of meeting every night* All in all it was such a memorable experience for me. I still remember when I first apply for the project I don’t even know if I am going to pass the interview as I am a shy person. I view myself as a very awkward person in a group of people. Before my semester break started I decided I want to do something productive this semester break and enhance my communication skills. That was my goal before starting the project is to enhance my communication skills. After 4 weeks I realise that I have gain so much more! I also realise that I became more confident in talking in English and making friends. I love how everyone was super supportive and nice. Every meeting was super fun and productive. Love the teamwork in every workshop. It was my first time virtual volunteering, teaching students to be more open, handling workshop, becoming a content deliverer, an emcee and recording a podcast.

 Heloo people, I'm done with my 5th semester and finally I get a chance to be virtual volunteer!  literally me stepping out of my comfort zone Finally taking a big step to volunteer (meaning me finally doing something productive). It's a 4 week volunteer and I'm done with week 1 yey! The schedule is a bit hectic as it involves meeting daily at 2pm and then at 8:30pm. And I'm the oldest among other 15 volunteers *cries i am old* Starting this project I am so determined to make friends and learn a new skills because this project involves a lottttttt of talking in english. I maybe 22 but I still feel the nerves and my legs shaking every time I have to present something no matter how big the crowd is.  If you thought having presentation all the time during university is going to help in this volunteer, well the answer is big NO. I have been doing all sorts of presentation throughout all my 3.5 years of university life but I still feel super nervous. The first week only invo...
