MMM 2018; Minggu Mesra Mahasiswa 2018 [Orientation Week]
Back in September 2018, I was in charge to be one of MMM's crew for my college; 9&10 College. By the way, this is my first-time application and I am so happy knowing that I was selected since I knew there was quite a large of number who applied too. Asraf, Madeehah and I were assigned to be in the 'food & beverages' unit.
In this program especially related to my job scope, I learnt;
- How to manage your time wisely and the importance of being on-time. For example, my team and I need to make sure that catering arrived 15 minutes before breakfast, lunch and dinner time. If they still have not arrived, we need to contact them by phone call. There was one time where they were late. Once the food was not ready at the right time, students will eat a lil bit and they will start to rush to avoid further drag in time.
- Teamwork plays a big role. There were approximately 400++ new students that were registered in 9&10 College, however, there is only 20++ crew to take care of all of them. It was harder when the students were under control and choose to not listen to our command. Teamwork between each of the crew helps a lot because I can feel how committed we were with our work. Sometimes we work out of our job scope knowing that our friend was in need of our help and drained after days of not getting enough sleep. We have empathy on each other and help whatever we can.
- Be kind and patience. To be honest I have never expected to receive rude students. It was so hard to keep myself to be positive when you are restless and annoyed. However, life is an option and I choose to ignore because professionalism help me to encounter it well. Moreover, I need to give a good example as a crew and senior.
I would love to be a MMM crew again next year which will be my final year inshaAllah.
