Another day of scouting for me as I had to force myself to wake up 0700hrs, just to travel to HQ. So... I met up with the Crab and Hippo to attend a Service-Learning (S-L) workshop as part of the Rover Progress Scheme (RPS). Initially, I was quite reluctant to go and attend a lecture and was dead tired from the lack of sleep the night before. However, for my brother and sister, I accompanied them.
Well, I saw many familiar faces at the workshop, thus getting to know each other again wasn't a problem. We had a great time together, despite that at times, I nearly fall asleep. It was fun watching people stoning and falling asleep too!
Generally, the course is to allow us to know what service learning is all about as well as how to apply it in our units as well as in our lives. Thus, what is service learning, many may ask? Well, simply put, whereby a person were to learn a new skill or knowledge, and creates a platform to apply these skills through a service to others. Sounds complicated?!
Anyway, overall, what I benefited from the workshop was how to improve my people skills as well as to understand how to coach, facilitate and think for the teams. This is especially so as I will try to embark on several projects and ideas next year for my unit as well as the district. Quote of the day: "Don't aim for perfection, aim for excellence. Don't let a minor mistake neglect the bigger outcome". Well, it means that not all mistakes are bad and by focusing only on the mistakes and not the overall picture of the project, you're neglecting your objectives and goals for the project.
Most importantly, the workshop made me reflect on my goal for 2008. Seriously, what are my goals? I don't know. I only know that I'm taking one step at a time and trusting in HIM to lead the way. So whatever that happens in my life, it is not by chance, but by fate... as chance is created by humans, fate decided by HIM... opportunities given by HIM and destiny set by HIM. So what's my next step now? I don't know.
My exams are round the corner and I have yet to revise ... however, I don't seem to worry, the feeling is not there... maybe when it gets closer like a day or two before, will I feel anxious about it.
My social life is screwed up as usual, still figuring out how to sustain friendship and relationship, however it's not going any where at all. Well, I believe in you, Father, that you will handle this with TLC!
My scouting life is fun as usual, always thinking of new ideas for camps and activities that I pray the boys will enjoy and learn. Some may ask, why I never mentioned girls along? That's because White Stag Scout Troop is an ALL BOYS unit. Waahaha... but don't worry PLTC ladies, you're not forgotten by me!! As well as the boys!!
Well, keep the spirit burning in you as ONCE A SCOUT, ALWAYS A SCOUT. :)
