Hello good day to everyone. My name is Santiyapriya and I'm currently pursuing my degree In Bachelor Of Accounting. I am in my second semester and i took the Social Engagement course as a part of my subjects.
- Before the event
To be honest i find this course to be quite unique since there's no any weekly lectures or tutorials instead we have to conduct projects. At first i was quite nervous since I'm someone who's not really good in communicating with others and I'll have anxiety attacks if i do so. It was challenging for me but i took this positively for me to improve myself and enhance my interpersonal skills.
My team consist members of 5 who are very friendly and supportive. We decided to conduct a program called "free virtual accounting class" for form5 students. This was a initiative from us to help out the SPM students. We had to prepare so many things before organizing a program. I had no experience doing proposal paper works but this course gave me the opportunity to do so. On the event day, i was IN charged to be a teacher for the students. At first, i was afraid to do so since I'm not good communicating with others. The nervous feeling really scared me but i took this as a challenge and tried to give my best
Since i was IN charged as a teacher, i had to prepare materials for the students to make my teaching process much easier. This part was fun to do. I prepared slides which would be easier for them to understand and to make it more interesting, i added clip arts so that the slides will look more attractive. I was also required to prepare questions for the students by using Kahoot. This was my first time using it and i found it to be pretty fun and interesting too. I learnt how to use applications that i have not used before. I also trained myself quite a several times on how to teach the students which was fun and stressful at the same time. My team members promoted our event posters in various social media platforms to gain more participants. In 3 weeks time, we managed to get 30 participants for our event.
- during the event
on the event day, i was the first person to start the discussion. i was worried that the students might not understand what am i trying to deliver. But to my surprise, they understood what i taught and they were actively participating throughout my discussion. I was very happy and pleased when they understood what i taught. This was something that i would say one of my biggest achievements in this year. Talking infront of people was never been easy for me, but the responses from the students gave me the confidence to give my best throughout the discussion. At the end of the discussion, the student thanked me and asked some questions for some clarifications. This is a lifetime experience that ill cherish forever.
We also faced some internet problems during our event. One of our member's connection got disconnected but she managed to join after the some time and continued the discussion smoothly. All the students were very happy with our event since it was very beneficial for them. We were very happy for the opportunity given to help out the students for better understanding in the Accounting subject.
-after the event
After our event, i felt very happy and relieved. i was also proud of myself for doing something out of my comfort zone. This event helped me to gain self confidence and also my interpersonal skills. i would like to convey my deepest gratitude to all my team members as all of them were being very corporative and contributing to conduct this event. My team members were also required to prepare other paper works such as reports after organizing the event. This is my first time doing a report for an event. i would say that i learnt so much especially on how to work as a team and get our things done.
I would be forever thankful to Dr Zalfa for guiding us throughout this journey. She guided us in many ways and it would be helpful for us not only now but in future as well. From the very beginning till the end of this course, i have gained experience and knowledge that i will cherish for a long time. This would have not been possible without Dr Zalfa and my team members. Once again, Thank you very much.
