PRE MED DAY
During the booth facilitation, I realized na lisod diay siya—like, I didn’t expect it. I thought it was going to be pretty chill, just like the booth we had last time, where everything went smoothly. Although, during this one, I was one of the leaders. Being a leader this time meant a lot more responsibility. There were more discussions, misunderstandings, and even arguments during our meetings. We faced conflict, and through those moments, I realized how challenging it truly is to handle people. Being a leader is not just about giving instructions—like before, mo watch lng sa members if they did their tasks, remind them what to do and etc.I thought being a leader was just that but it’s not always like that. It’s about managing different personalities, opinions, and emotions.
As time went on, especially during the actual day, it turned out to be fun, though really tiring. (kapoy kaayo, promise pag-uli nako, knockdown jud ko). We were super busy with promotion, approaching strangers we didn’t know, just to invite them to the booth. Daghan kaayo ug walking—murag na-achieve nako akong walking goal that day. So, despite the exhaustion, we managed to do a good job in the end.
Overall, the experience taught me that we can always do better—like, if there was a misunderstanding, we just need to talk about it so that it can be resolved before it gets worse. But overall, it was fun, and it reminded me na we need to stay open to feedback or criticism. When we made mistakes or had misunderstandings, we couldn’t undo them, but we could say sorry, learn from them, and do better next time. So, yeah, overall, it was really fun, and I loved it. If I do it again, I would—whether as a leader or just a member. Kapoy siya, but fun at the same time. Basta, I enjoyed other booths also.
