1) Mini Report
This activity, the senior farewell ceremony, is a once-in-a-year activity where we the junior bid farewell to our seniors in the organization. This event is an event that focuses on leadership and teamworking: no leader can succeed without being grateful to others. The event greets the participating senior and junior by serving the meal, and some mini-games for warm up. Despite our soon graduating seniors being stressed out by their final year projects, they still manage to enjoy themselves and let their hair down for a moment. Since the main objective is to show our appreciation and gratitude towards our leading seniors, the event continues with a series of performance prepared by the juniors. We had performed group dancing, singing. The last part of the event includes a confession session, that gives seniors and junior the chance to open up and express feelings and talk about the experience they cherish the most during the servicing period in the organization.
2) Self-Reflection
Just like the saying: let every man praise the bridge he goes over. We as the junior should always remember and be grateful for our senior in the organization that had taken on the responsibility to lead and nurture us in every aspect. Their contribution is voluntary, which is an act of kindness that is not asking for return. This event had solidified and highlighted our senior efforts, and knowingly we could never repay equal our senior’s effort, we hope we can at least do something to express our appreciation towards them. For me, through this event, I understand better that a leader should not ask for return in every contribution he makes, instead, take action for the sake of helping others to grow. Besides, this event also reminds us that without our senior’s dedication, we can never achieve our height today. Everyone understands the value of being thankful, but without this event, we might never get the chance to express our gratitude in a whole. Moreover, it also reminds me to practice thankfulness in every day towards everyone. The challenges in this event are venue arrangements, meal arrangements, and practice of our performance. Although everyone is busy with our respective schedule, everyone eventually is able to cope and make time for discussion and practice. This requires an enormous amount of cooperation and understanding between each other. Personally, I am very happy that the event turned out to be successful, where everyone left with a heart filled with blessings.
