Our Intern returns…

Being at Trybe was indeed a great learning experience for me and I have learnt a lot from being here, from self confidence to presentation skills to stress management. I have also learnt a lot form the staff. I remember when I went to the ITE at Dover with Joel, Jovita and Nicholas for a talk, Joel asked me what I had wanted to learn from this attachment and it really got me thinking as he told me that if I did not have in mind what I really wanted to learn from this experience, I would end up not learning anything.

Following the staff around, I have learnt a lot of things from both the presentations that we had and the people around. I felt that the time spent here was very meaningful to me as not only did I get to learn about presentation skills, it also gave me the chance to improve in the area that I was weak in like presentation. I also would like to thank all the staff for having the confidence in me, allowing me to develop comfortably at my own pace and often encouraging me that I can do it.

I also had the chance to go for a leadership camp for Chua Chu Kang Secondary that was planned by Trybe. From the time I spent there as a facilitator I learnt a lot too. I am used to doing things alone and not with people and this is one of the main reasons why I had always volunteered for things which did not need me to work with a huge group of people in school. So being a facilitator at the camp was indeed a challenge for me. But with the encouragement that I had form Rafael and Mirabel and another facilitator in my group, I managed to have more self confidence in myself and believe in myself that I can do it although it felt uncomfortable initially stepping out but I have really learnt a lot from this camp.

Back in the office I have also learnt a lot form the staff, Nicholas, Jovita, Mirabel, Rafael, Christina, Jane, Joel, Praise, Dy, Jaime, Jasmine and Rachel. A big Thank You to you all for that you have taught me.

I really hope that I would have another opportunity to work at Trybe again!
