Talent Show(Service)

Description and Goals

I helped out with the organization of the annual school talent show that helps people display talents they have and can not present it on a regular basis. Additionally, it was a good opportunity to inspire people and I wanted to be apart of that. Furthermore, I tend to not contribute to school activities and events and I pushed my boundaries by volunteering to aid in the event although, I was aware that it would be difficult to control and organize the children involved in the event. Moreover, I had to communicate with fellow students in the organisation and it helped my team work skills improve.

Most of the contenders were in year 7 and 8 which made them very loud and talkative. I did not believe that was an issue however, apparently the noise was far too loud and it was reaching the audience therefore, we were recruited to help keep them quiet which was a very difficult task. Firstly, a lot of them were being immature and did not respond to simple requests therefore, we had to  constantly monitor and tell them to keep it down. At the same time, I tried not to be too strict to ensure that they enjoy their time as well as not disrupt others. Alongside, 3 other volunteers , we split up tasks accordingly and it made the process so much easier.  Despite me getting frustrated multiple times, I stayed on the helping team fulltime and managed to control the situation which allowed for a better performance environment for contenders . I believe in this activity I managed to work well in  a team however, I did not keep my cool at all times which is something I have to work on. Working with younger kids was a challenge but it is an experience  I can learn from and moving forward, I believe I am much better at organising events for younger people and crowd control than I was before stepping up to this task.
