As you're practicing your presentations, think about one thing you have learned and one thing you would like to improve one and share them down below!
Discussion
The leadership convention was very interesting. It was the first time I experienced this type of event. The convention was really short. We arrived relatively early at night so the first there was no one in the dorm. I slept alone which was kinda weird since I thought there would be people. I was lucky that the translators and volunteers were there to assist me or else I would be so lost. There were shower cards which was very interesting since I never knew that exist. Then, It was the "first day" we had to get the green shirts/uniforms. After that I just went back to the dorm and fell asleep. I woke up because the teacher wanted to meet up. After meeting up, I forgot completely what happens. I think my roommates arrived, which I thought was great. The first round was pretty scary since it was me and my partner going up to a large stage. I realized that some of the people who asked questions were mean they asked were should I implement the treatment in china. I am like what the heck, I don't even know cities in china come on. Then came round two, it was with my roommates and others in one group. I think it was group 49. We had lots of fun. Then we had a project to do in one day, which was hard. Next thing we know it is that we had problems with transferring the project then we have finally got it done. I skipped the third round. The third round was honestly not hard. Finally, we were done so we can now tour. I would also like to thank all the teachers, friends, translators and volunteers for treaty me with care. The teachers really supported all of us with their positivity although some of us are really naughty (me).
I think I learned that sometimes your teammates are not there and you have to prepare more. I feel like I should improve in memorizing slides.
As I was working on my project, I learned a lot about global warming and how to stop it. I also learned about collaboration and working together. One thing that I think I should improve on is to get less nervous on stage and speak more clearly.
I learned that you have to be confident in what you are saying to really sell your main point. One thing I could improve on is speaking louder and clearer during my presentations .
Although I am replying late, I still remember what I learned from these practices. I learned that I needed to sound more interested in my topic in order for others to be interested. I also learn that the presentations should be more vivid and eye-catching. I wanted to improve on my confidence and delivery of my presentation.
For the presentations, I think the most important part is to prepare well. Prepare your delivery, and prepare your project. They are looking for a leadership project, not a research project. Their definition of leadership project is basically like a community service project, so go out and do something. However, the most important thing about the first round is that you must be interested in your project, not just interested in meeting the requirements.
As I practiced my presentation, I learned that it is important to focus on and develop a singular point rather than providing a general overview. This helps make the presentation more understandable and not as scattered. To improve my presentation, I should have focused more on the implementation process rather than the background. Since this is a leadership project, it is more important to show how you helped resolve an issue.
