SUMMARY
Last 6th April 2019, I have join a run program conducted by JURUTEK SKE UTM called as V=IRUN 2.0. I was a committee member for this program as sponsorship committee. I was excited but nervous at the same time because that was my first time handling and being committee members for a program since I am start study in UTM. It makes me more nervous because it a big event which were the participants just not from UTM student only but it also involving public people. For this program I use my scholarship skill because I need to collect the data such as email and contact number of many company in Malaysia especially in Johor for requesting fund from them to sponsor our event. There are two others members who are in sponsorship committee member and there are new people that I know from this program and we are work in team for get the sponsor. From that, I can improve my team working skill even though with a new people that I just get to know them. I am also gain more experience and skill from this program because I am not only did job scope of sponsorship committee but I am also help others members such as help their handling the registration for participants get their running kit and I am also help to promote our program.
There are many problems we faced when try to get the sponsor from many company. There are so many company that reject our proposal and do not want sponsor our event because of many disadvantages from our program such as the number of participant that join our event that time. Because of that situation, all of committee members of program was work together to help publicity committee members find more participants for this program. There are so many place around Johor Bahru we went to promote our event.
There also many company that we call and email them and they show their interest but at the end, they just ignore our email even though we are always updated with them. At the end of program, all of committee members was meeting and make a post mortem after program. Many of them blame and advices us to improve our skill in sponsorship for the next time because our program cannot get many sponsor as they expected. I am so sad because they do not know what we go through since we are start our task. The program is in April but we already try find the sponsor from beginning of January.
So, if I was give another opportunity as the sponsorship committee member again in the others program in the future I will improve myself to do the task given. Next, I will improve my communication skill when I am talking to the company I call so that they will interest to sponsor our program.

Reporting
Last 6th April 2020, I have joined a run program under JURUTEK UTM called as V=IRUN 2.0. The objectives of this program are to form unity among the UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA (UTM )community and public. Next, to create a healthy lifestyle among the community and lastly to encourage, inspire, and motivate people of all ages and backgrounds to improve their mental and physical health through exercising. The event was held at Stadium Azman Hashim UTM and started at 8am. There are two categories of runner for this event. The first category is 5KM and the other category is 10KM. The event start with some aerobics and warm up before participants start running. I saw that all the participants are happy to start their day with running since our event start in the morning. The participants for this program are from UTM community such as students and staff and the others participants are from public. There are also have participants from other country such as Kenya.
So, for this program I was assign as a sponsorship committee members. It was my first time in my life being assign to find the sponsorship for a program. Our job scope as sponsorship committee members is to find fund and sponsorship from many company in Malaysia especially in Johor Bahru such as Nestle, F&N, MOMAWATER and etc. There are two other member of sponsorship committee member. Their task are to call the company and I email the proposal for the requesting sponsor to the company they call. My task also need to keep updated with the company we email. We meet almost every week to work together and thinking how to make sure the company accept our request to sponsor our program.
Responding
Like I said before, this is my first time was assign to be sponsorship committee member and also my first time being the committee member of a program. So it makes me not confident to join but I need to join to get the experiences. I feel nervous for the beginning because I need to work with people that I never know and meet before because I am an introvert person. I will talk to people when other people start the conversation first. But, I am very grateful to get the kind and sporting people like the other two members. They also always teach me about all the task we are given and treat me nicely.
We start our task early in the beginning of January even though our program is in April. But, after a month we still not get any sponsorship. At that time I felt down because I think I am not good to do this things. Afterwards, it leading me to give up and felt want to quit from this program. But, I thought it very ridiculous thing I would do because it will hurt many party especially my committee member and director. So, I continue to help them to find any sponsorship and never stop trying.
During the event, I felt happy to see the event run smoothly from the start until the end. I was assign to help give participants medal, food and drinks in the sling bag at the finish line. I saw many reaction of participants after finish the run. Some of them are smile, some tired and some of them feel regret because they not even smile. I thought maybe she or he not enjoying the run.
Relating
When I am joining this program make me remember the day when I am conduct a program when at school. The important thing to success a program is teamwork because we cannot do everything alone when run a program. Other than that, the important thing is not doing work at last minute because it will make the thing complicated.
Lastly, I realize when we join a program we not only get skill but we also get some sweet or sour memories with friends and it will make you remember it until forever. The memories we gain when study is the best thing in life.
Reasoning
The most important aspects from this program are encourage all the participants to get a healthy lifestyle start with exercise and run. Other than that, we get to unity people from outside and inside UTM.
Next, from this program I get to improve my communication skill and can get more confident to doing something. If you know me, I am person with lack of communication and confident. I am always nervous if I need to present something in front of the class and hate that to do that thing. I am also always get nervous if my name was called by lecturer when in class to answer some question because I don’t have the confident to answer even though I know my answer is true. After I am joining a program, it makes a little bit confident to do that without I am realize it.
Reconstructing
In the future, if I get an opportunity like this again, I will improve myself to be more responsible with my task. I am also learned that, we need to work together as team to make our program success and not just mind your job only. We need to help others too such as if you are assign to be sponsorship member you also need to help others member to complete their task to help the program success and do not selfish.
Next, I also realized that we need to accept opinion and advice from other so that we can do better because we are not always right all the time. Last but not least, I want to say that I am happy when I am joining a program because it prove me that I can do work that I never do and I can gain many experience from that. Like we know, it very important when you want to get a job in future.
