Hi Ben Wei,
It has been a meaningful time with CCI despite the short time with you guys. Honestly speaking, being the first time interacting with normal stream students, I was not really comfortable facilitating, which I believe you all can see.
Conducting the programs can never be easy as there bound to have naughty kids around. Some can be extremely noisy, extremely bo chap, and extremely rude. Nevertheless, in every single class/teams I went to, I will always see these little angels, the chubby and toot toot ones, and the super helpful ones. The most fulfilling part will be to actually get their attention and to impart knowledge to them, and knowing that you have made a change in their lives.
CCI has shown me a group of dedicated and passionate Cheerscis/ Cheerios. People who can dun sleep when it comes to work; people who can be super hyper and enthu. A good facilitator requires passion, and a lot of patience and perseverance (qualities which you all have). You guys have been doing a good job and I know you all can continue doing so.
To all trainers, thank you so much for taking care of me and the rest of the NTU students.
Lionel – Mr. Very Handsome, it was nice working with you. I learnt a lot from the way you conduct the programs, like how you gather attention at the start of each program. I still cannot figure out why the GYSS kids called you “nadou”. Work hard for you studies.
Yong Liang – jia you for your upcoming exams! Maths and econ right? Same as ben wei right?
Kah Hoe – agreed with wad u said during debrief. We should never easily give up on and hack care those kids who refuse to listen. If we give up on them, we will be basically defeating the purpose going down to educate.
Carolyn – Daryl says you dun look like xx, he says you look damn cao lao. Anyway, take care of your voice because the kids need you.
Although it has only been 4 days, it was an enriching experience for me. This is something which I dun think any top JCs and top Universities can show and teach us. I’ll never see teachers and facilitators the way I used to. Thanks for touching my life. CCI wooosh!
Best regards,
Kefeng
