Ethan shares Reflections on You Can Do It! @ VS

Nostalgic. To say the least. In 2005, Nic Lee set foot into 2C'05's classroom in typical Thumb's Up attire. I was 14 at the time and in need of a lot of help.

Now, in 2008, it is a perfectly reconstructed situation. Only I'm at the front of the class heading the workshop and Nic is sitting down with the students. We were even in the same classroom!

The connection was very much different being alumni of the school. The lingo was understood, the Victorian Spirit could be felt and the inside jokes hit home.

It was an experience unlike any other. Having been in their shoes before made it so much easier to anticipate how they would react and what made them tick. Kind of like a sixth sense to that which would violate Trybe's PG rating.

It felt good to go back. I got to conduct the workshop which began the change in my life, I got to see my old classroom and teachers again, I got to eat the $2.50 chciken spaghetti and even collect my O level certificate.

Thank you,Trybe for allowing me to make a difference at one of the places that matter to me the most. I expect we'll see our fair share of success stories from these Victorians in years to come. Or a chalet invitation at the very least. :)
