Today I spent almost the whole day from 6:30am to almost 11pm with my girl as she is one of the organizing committee members for the performance jointly organized by 4 Chinese Language Society from 4 high schools. Fun to attend such a function as I left high school more than 2 decades already.
Well, I would say the event is quite well organized despite some minor technical hiccup. One of the best values they learned is teamwork. It is not easy to have good teamwork from one organization, let alone from four. I am so glad that my girl is involved in such a good community that show high level of teamwork and respect. Of course, I can tell that they have a lot of fun organizing the event. I believe the new committee members learned a great deal managing the event, so did the returning committee members as it involved leadership skill and people management technique now as senior committee members.
Such an event is like a mini bootcamp or practical training to prepare these group of high school students to work in the real world when they graduate some time in the future. By taking part in club activities, they will be able to develop their organization, leadership, interpersonal, communication and other types of soft skills. I am sure they will be better prepared to face real world challenges compared to those who have never taken part in similar events.
