Transformative Journal by Nurul Aqila Binti Abdul Razak_U2003281 (Team D)

 

At the beginning

Before divided into teams and after hearing the briefing, I felt that this course would be quite stressful as we had to spend the entire semester planning and organizing a program.

After the briefing, there was no ample time to think of an idea and make it into proposal.

But after we all chose teams, we instantly clicked and though of an idea thoroughly without wasting time. Since then, I felt a heavy burden had been lifted from my shoulder as good teammates is what matters for this kind of activity.

Along the process

There were some feelings of uneasiness in me when our slides or poster were still not approved yet. Initially, we planned our program much earlier so that is why I felt worried sometimes.

After we changed our date to 21^st March 2021, I felt more relieved as we got ourselves extra time to do better preparations.

However, I was always grateful that whenever I had questions or doubts, I just can ask in the group and anyone would answer instantly and clearly.

We were also always reassuring each other that everything would turn out well.

During program

Of course, I felt nervous before we started. I was always checking my internet connection as I was in charge of technical issues. Unfortunately, these problems were unexpected, and I did faced internet connection problems during the program.

But I was also relieved and happy that my teammates quickly backed me up.

After program

I also learned something from our program’s content especially from our guest lecture who is now studying abroad.

I also learned to interact with people outside of my circles, the participants.

Below are some pictures taken during the program.

A formal picture of us with participants. At first, everyone was very shy to turn on their camera. It is understandable especially us who had gone through 2 semesters virtually. Eventually, a few of them gathered their courage and showed us their faces. We took a picture together. One of us was having a technical problem that's why the middle one in the picture is  only showing the backdrop.

   A freestyled picture of us with some of the participants. The same people who took the previous formal picture with us did some poses to liven up the mood. But in this picture, unfortunately our guest lecture did not turn on her camera so we took another picture with her in it afterwards.

      A picture of us after the program had finished. Finally, in this picture, our friend Haniem who was having a technical problem with her camera fixed the problem. So we took few last pictures together. This is when all the participants had left the meeting. This is to show that we were very happy and glad we managed to organise a programme together and we did it with many jokes and laughs. We supported each other during uneasy times and solved problems together. 

   During kahoot session 2. This is the kahoot session that managed to end well than the previous session. Actually, the winner in the first place was my sister. She joined our programme to support us and she participated very well I must admit till she got first place in our game. Also, she said that even though she was a science student, she learned few things about accounting. I felt glad and proud of our group and also confident that at least a few more people other than her thought the same way.
