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. (Stay tuned I'll definitely share it later hehe). It was so worth it at the end! I didn’t regret anything about it.

All this experience made me realise is to never be afraid of stepping out of my own comfort zone! It may be scary and uncomfortable at first. However, as time goes by it was an eye open experience to meet new people and learning so many new skills in a short amount of time. After the last meeting last night, I am little sad because I got so used to see faces (my volunteer mates or LVV local virtual volunteer). They were super nice and supportive. Yesterday I shared my insecurities on how I am super shy on sharing my opinions and the only positive thing is the energy I carried throughout the 4 weeks. Everyone started saying how much they appreciate my energy 😭🙊 

Even have our graduation hat cause we are finally done with 4 weeks of volunteering yeay *cries everyone so cute here*

I wish everyone that have the same fear as me would step out and be engaging! Volunteer with AIESEC! I swear you guys wont regret it. 

BYe

Words cant describe what I am feeling

 Helloooo, Yesterday marks the end of a 2-month project as a student consultant for my team. Remember my last post on my friends and I joined a volunteer project where we become a student consultant to business owners? It feels like just yesterday I received the acceptance email to become a student consultant. In this project, we were assigned to guide a business owner in helping their problems which my team is helping the business in marketing and lack of promotion.  Through this project, I definitely learn a lot. This is my first time taking a job as a leader, I realised how difficult it is to guide my friends to make them feel comfortable and not feeling serabut with all the info that we get haha But in 2 months I managed it, have a calendar where we put all our ideas, links, meeting links, photos even! I would not say it was a smooth ride because we have our difficulties with the business owner. However, each team were assigned to one mentor. We are super lucky to get some...

Meetings involving the ambassador program, being a student consultant and group assignments. I cant believe I am experience stress that I usually have during the finals. So regarding the student consultant, now that is a very exciting news! I always wanted to do something like giving back to the society.

2022 goals

 Hello, its 2022 and happy new year (i think?)  Anyway, looking back at 2021 I realised how much I have grown as an individual. Back in 2021, the goals I set for myself was in one word ' SELF-LOVE '. I experience a heartbreaking moment in 2020 where I was unhappy with myself. I remember crying in my bed almost every night because I was so clueless about my future, of what I wanted to be and what kind of person I am. I realised I was putting my happiness in other people's hands. Looking back now I'm like why hanis why u so stupid is it hahahahhahahaha  2021 was my year (yassss cegitu) I put myself first. I remove the people in my life that don't need me. I stop begging for other people's attention. I remember for a few months I literally stop updating anything on social media cause at that point I just don't care anymore. Why bother showing what I've been doing on social media, why should I post anything on Instagram if people don't even bother much a...
