Grade 10 Reflection
I was supposed to read grade 9 when I first came to this school, but instead I skipped grade 9 and went to grade 10. This is already a big challenge because that means I have 1 less year to graduate from SUIS and that means I have less time to prepare for college. When I first came to this school, everything is so easy because all my other classmates can't speak English as fluently as I am, except for the native speakers. But then I realized how wrong I was when I didn't get a grade higher than many of my classmates during the mid term exam. So I worked harder than I used to and try to get an A for as many subjects as possible.
I think the biggest challenge that I faced this year is to be in charge of the Easter talent show. I had never been a leader in my life before, and I was chosen to lead this show because I was the winner of the talent show house event. At first I thought doing something good comes with a consequence because I helped my house win the talent show but afterwards the principal forced the great task of leading the Easter talent show on me. He gave a partner though, my classmate Alyssa, one of the native speakers. Because our principal Mister Eaton knew that I had never planned for an event before.
For starters, I had to stand in front of the whole class, ask for their attention and then ask them for ideas about what to perform in the talent show. I didn't had the courage to speak first but then Mister Eaton and Alyssa encouraged me. I thought that I am going to have to do this some day, so I said out loud "Can I have everyone's attention?", some ignored me but some of them noticed. Me and my classmates discussed about different ideas and eventually came up with the idea of a talk show. So we quickly decided some of the programs that are in the talk show and who will host them.
On the day of the Easter Talent show, everyone performed very well and I am amazed that the shows in our class are actually me and Alyssa's ideas, even though they wrote their own script and I wasn't there to watch them practice. I am happy that my the first event that I am in charge in is a success. It was hard thinking that I might not do a good job and let my class down on the show, I was so nervous and anxious that I can't concentrate on my homework, because knowing that there are something that might or might not turn out good and if it doesn't then it will be my problem really gave me a headache.
Maybe I am capable of being a leader, maybe I want to be a leader, cause sometimes I just really want to, even though I know that there are people who are more capable than I do, I am still willing to try. I think that as long as I am confident, nothing is hard, and I can be a good leader, because a good leader always tried his best to do his job, and never look down.
