Service & Creativity

Recently we've been celebrating the Teacher's Day in Poland and my class was responsible for preparing the whole event at my school. My friend Adrian and I, decided to lead the assembly. Our tasks were to introduce the speakers, congratulate and greet all the teachers and basically represent our class. 

At first I wasn't sure if it's a good idea, as I tend to get very shy in front of a big audience, so I was afraid that I'm not going to cope with it. But I decided to give it a go. After some rehearsals I felt that maybe it's not such a bad idea and I started to look forward to the whole event. 

Unfortunately, Adrian felt sick in the morning of the Teacher's Day and he couldn't attend the event which made me really stressed, but in the end it all went as planned. With a little help from my other classmate – Janek – the assembly turned out to be much fun and everyone was happy with the outcome. I even managed to help with the preparation of pies and coffee for the invited teachers.

I've learned that overcoming those small fears – like stage fright, isn't actually that difficult, but has an impact on my well-being and seeing people who really like all the work you've put into an event is the best reward :)
