Planning ahead. Usually I am guilty of following a rough plan and outline to achieve the goals. I would just put my head down and hammer at a task and grind through the days, and I thought that following the big picture was enough. But this YLEAD has really taught me the importance of planning ahead, with a clear picture in mind.

Because as facils, you cannot be unsure of any single bit of information during the camp. Any questions ur participants asks or any issues you face should be prepared by you, else the event will not flow smoothly for them. Plus, this time there were a lot of instructions that sometimes overlap, and by planning ahead with clear detail, a lot of issues are solved and the event can flow much smoother.

Hence in the future as one leads, one needs to be clear of every minor details so that the teammates can execute their tasks with focus and a clear picture of what they do and how what they do impacts the bigger picture.

My YLEAD dream of bonding with my baby durians were crushed one and a half days into the camp. Really wasn't expecting this, but dang did I take a double uppercut to the jaw with a smile. HAHAHHA but this is literally leading through disruption to the max(as far as my role goes).

So something I've learnt is that anything can happen to you, but nothing can happen to your focus, attitude and drive. It reinforced my belief that you can never let your externals affect your internals. You choose what you want to be influenced by. And that's the most important skill of all.

# data[].attributes.body
The facils' time(for both D42&46)
I think it was finally a time for me to bring the whole group together and reflect upon how much they've grown. This is also a very crucial juncture where us, as facils can inspire the participants to do better, to lead better and be better. It's a place and time where we laughed, played around and affirmed each other of our efforts and our progress. One of my participants, James, told me that he missed me after he missed me, and he is really thankful of the effort and energy I instilled into the group from the very beginning, which inspired him to lead the group as well. Kaide also mentioned how by me appointing him to voice out his opinions gave him the space and confidence to be more vocal and participative during YLEAD, and hopefully beyond. Moments like this is where memories are made, bonds are strengthened and knowledge is passed on to the next generation. It was a really heart warming session that is reminding me of how much I like helping people out, to instill in them; hope, passion and inspiration to progress forward.

# data[].attributes.body
YLEAD has stretched me to fundamentally believe and take ownership of the idea that I create a society that I want to live and be part of. There's no reason to shy away from interactions, worrying that the next might hurt you or you'll be wasting too much time. But I want to be around people who cared for me just the way I care for them. Just do what you would do, and eventually, everything will be fine. Good energy, good vibes and a good community spirit in RV doesn't come from the student council. It comes from RVians' actions and interactions everyday. I hence hope to inspire and lead by example. People may think that the camp is over, but that doesn't matter. The energy continues, and that's the change I want to see in RV, and that's the change I'm gonna decide upon today.

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout this event where sometimes things may go out of hand or become too disruptive, I learnt to become more flexible and understand that not all things can go according to our plan and schedule and as the person that is directly involved in ensuring our participants have a good time, we must be able to adjust and change stuffs accordingly. So, going through this gave me the experience of leading in a disruptive setting, which in the future can give me some experience to use in the case where something like this happen again.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the best memory would be RHC! RHC although was quite confusing at first but as I manage to understand the programme flow it was actually very interesting. As it was on the second day, the participants was more comfortable and willing to speak up so we manage to finish pretty fast and had time to talk and know more about each other, making it pretty fun!!

# data[].attributes.body
One skill is flexibility. Through this experience, I learnt how to adapt to unexpected problems and make decisions quickly based on the situation. Another skill can be the ability to motivate. As not all the participants are excited for Ylead, as facils, it is important for us to inspire them to participate.

# data[].attributes.body
what makes my Y.LEAD experience different from other leadership programmes is that this is the first camp in which I have attended that is online and I had to experience facilitating for participants online and it exposed me to newer circumstances like having to deal with MIA participants, technical difficulties and ensuring that all participants are accounted for and on task, following the programmes

# data[].attributes.body
YLEAD is online this year which makes it more difficult for facils to engage and interact with the participants. We had to adapt to the situation to make the best out of it. Given the increase of workload since it is shifted online, it definitely made ylead more difficult to conduct. However, it is nonetheless a fruitful learning experience

# data[].attributes.body
After y lead I learnt to adapt quickly to the different situations and how to be more flexible in my thinking. From leading the participants to talking to them personally I learnt to step out of my comfort zone and lead them.

# data[].attributes.body
Y lead is the first online  camp that I have facilitated. It’s allows me to find more about the different online platforms and which is the most engaging for all of them. Since it’s online it was more awkward at first compote to face to face. We needed continue to find ways to make the atmosphere hype.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt to adapt to changes quickly throughout this whole Y.LEAD experience! I really enjoyed Y.LEAD although it was online and I've gotten a better understanding of my participants and fac partners!! ♡

# data[].attributes.body
I have grown so much through YLEAD as a leader. YLEAD has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and take the lead. I also became more confident as a leader and learnt to deal with unforeseen circumstances.

# data[].attributes.body
In the past, I wouldn't be able to express what I think freely but now I think I have become more confident to lead others and to be able to voice out my opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mamba Mentality! The Energy and the Passion that push myself forward!

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was going to be something rather boring, but it turned out way better than I expected. I could connect with the participants and it's really heartening to see them open their hearts and get more involved with Y.LEAD

# data[].attributes.body
I nvr know i can be so proactive and energetic especially in the morning. :D

# data[].attributes.body
firstly, it’s the first online camp that i’ve help to facilitate. it is definitely a more memorable experience especially when there is months of planning that went into it. another thing different is the gathertown experience , despite the hassle to do up the gathertown , it is more interactive and allows greater responsibility of participants to gather and speak out in their artifac groups. adding on, the activities planned were very well thought compared to other camps. even though the atmosphere for a camp is not as hyped and participants may not be as enthusiastic but it is still a very good experience

# data[].attributes.body
I learn to predict and find ways to overcome any obstacle that we might face during the process. I also learn to communicate patiently to those who might have a different stands from me.

# data[].attributes.body
D45 actually puts in effort to come out with a cheer and all the participants together with the facils do it together

# data[].attributes.body
the best memory of ylead would be seeing the artefact groups work together as a team. i was initially quite worried that they would have trouble completing their homework mission as there was facils to ask them to speak up or do it but they surprised me when i saw them working together outside of ylead time in their gathertown. as an artefact group they became closer and were laughing and joking around by the third day and to see the bond that they had was quite heartwarming

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that it is going to be horrible throughout the 3 days, but it's actually quite fun. I learn to communicate with people and get to know more about them quickly. I also learnt that teamwork is actually very important for everybody to fix the puzzles together. The participants are also very eager and cooperative despite having online ylead sessions instead.

# data[].attributes.body
my favourite memory is definitely the virtual escape room in gathertown because for some reason the participants were all super hype after everyone unmuted and they just roamed around. I think that the gathertown really made my group interact with each other alot more and it was nice to joke around and get to talk with them more. also coming up with the cheer was also pretty funny because we all unmuted to sing but no on was in sync

# data[].attributes.body
ylead taught me to be more assertive as a leader. there are many decisions we have to make almost as soon as we receive it ourselves, and to also disseminate to our participants. we need to be confident in the choices we make and be quick to understand everything so we can provide help to our participants. it also showed me how important it is to be sensitive to those ur leading to keep them from getting overwhelmed by information.

# data[].attributes.body
Leading in idsruption is truly a challenge, and in some ways I feel might be tougher than normal, as there are more things to consider and think through and in the case of Y.Lead, things like how to engage the participants, how to make sure the message get across (especially since its a bit more difficult to clarify and ask questions online compared to f2f). So going through Y.Lead, I feel that I better understand how to have everyone work together, how to reach a consensus and how to better communicate with one another, especially through online platforms.

# data[].attributes.body
My best memory from YLEAD 2021 would be the presentation from my participants during RHC because we really had a lot of hiccups and bumpiness at the start, and the participants weren't very keen on talking, but then I think by going to suzanna's house, we were able to be more crazy and hype up the participants more, and from there I could see that they were more motivated and inspired to participate in more discussions. I was very very very surprised that they managed to make such an impressive presentation in a short amount of time, and really just very proud of them, and so I would think it would be my best memory of YLEAD.

# data[].attributes.body
To always be prepared for any kind of situations so that i will not panic when something unexpected happened. To also speak confidently and be decisive so that those under my lead will have trust in what i said

# data[].attributes.body
My best memory from ylead was during the logo rush game. It was heartening to see all the participants collaborate to come up with a design together, starting to open up to each other gradually despite only getting to know each other during icebreakers the night before

# data[].attributes.body
After Ylead, I think that I have become more confident in leading and inspiring others to do the same. I think it's a great opportunity that has helped me speak up more and learn the troubles and benefits of being a leader. I think that Ylead is a great event that has helped us facils and participants to learn the need to take the initiative to lead. Overall, Im glad I attended Ylead and tried becoming a facil as it helped me step out of my comfort zone and earn a new, intriguing experience.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the best memory from YLEAD 2021 is seeing initially shy and quiet participants slowly becoming more enthusiastic and more participative. From day 1 ice breakers to day 3 RHC voting, there are drastic change in the number of peopke talking and participating, which is very heartwarming to me, knowing that we have managed to get them to open up more.

# data[].attributes.body
my best memory was probably during virtual escape room. it was really heartening to see all of them actively discussing and participating, applying skills we've learnt from the games in day1. my facs and I actually tried really hard to get them to speak out since day1, but we didnt have to remind them during this activity ! this makes me really proud of them, seeing how much they've developed and grew as a leader :)

# data[].attributes.body
My best memory from YLEAD would be the time when we made our participants do a cheer to get extra points for our fam!! Although it was awkward at the start but i think through this experience we got to bond more and it was quite a fun moment where everyone was laughing through the awkwardness. And it was also one of the rare moments whereby everyone's mic was turn on so i think it was truly a memorable part of YLEAD.

# data[].attributes.body
My best memory was when one of my quieter group members became more proactive. It made me feel touched that he was willing to walk out of his shell to be a leader.

# data[].attributes.body
i went in with the mindset that participants would be unwilling to engage because they are at home and there are so many other things that they can be doing but i am really surprised to learn that the participants were really interested in what me and my fac partners had to say and put in their 100% effort to do the work allocated to them

# data[].attributes.body
Something unexpected is that the participants were very enthusiastic and active despite it being online. I was worried that it would be very quiet and boring but the active participation made it so much btr. Also, they were more hyped as the camp goes and the last day they had fun with the gathertown, putting objects and pictures and many many fun things. Also, they would now unmute and talk and ask qns now!!! its rly unexpected and funnn

# data[].attributes.body
As a facilitator, I think what makes YLEAD different from the other facilitating experiences is the amount of control we have over the participants' experience this year. For example, we really had to familiarise and run through the different games like the PP and the AA activities, as well as the debriefs for the various activities. I think YLEAD really allowed us to exercise leadership especially in terms of organising all the information online and relaying it in a clear way to participants, even more so than other events that I have experienced online and offline.

# data[].attributes.body
to lead and engage differently

# data[].attributes.body
so far the best memory i had with my fac partners and participants was coming up with a group cheer and actually doing it with them! it was a fun experience as we all messed up the first few times and we had to refilm our cheer videos but it was worth it in the end as we all enjoyed ourselves tremendously

# data[].attributes.body
Y.LEAD has transformed me from a leader who does things by the book to a leader who is adaptable. I may be able to plan for what to do on the day itself for my participants, but no plan will be 100% effective because anything and everything that can go wrong can happen (especially ones that you never expect). Therefore, the best leaders are those who are flexible and expect the unexpected.

# data[].attributes.body
Through Y.LEAD, I have learnt to be more interactive online and more adaptive to any unforeseen circumstances. And have realised that communication is very important especially since Y.LEAD is virtual. Things have become more confusing and complicated so preparing ourselves well and understanding the flow is important.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the best memory from YLEAD was the VER during RHC on day2, as I could really see how much they have progressed from day1, getting more comfortable around each other as they were much more proactive and vocal. Besides that, they were also very cooperative and sporting when it comes to doing forfeit, which I'm really appreciative of. In addition, seeing the smiles on their faces as they were doing the forfeit was something really nice to see too.

# data[].attributes.body
Leading in disruption to me, would’ve just been about getting people to work together in the pandemic, however Ylead has changed my perception of that. Now, leading in disruption to me means that we have to be more flexible and caring towards participants, and we have to leverage on technology and hone our skills to lead them through the camp. Only by viewing disruption positively can we grow into more flexible and adaptable leaders for the future.

# data[].attributes.body
instead of always adapting to changes, we change to be adaptive

# data[].attributes.body
After ylead I have become more adaptable especially in terms of time management and what to prioritise. I realised that when we are leading a group the schedule is not 100% fixed and we should adapt according to our group's progress.

# data[].attributes.body
everything had to be conducted online which was very different compared to f2f sessions as it was more difficult to get their attention and to ensure that everyone is actively interested. But through this, it has made me open myself up to new ideas, new ways of trying to engage the participants and understand the importance of communication

# data[].attributes.body
my favourite memory will be during the icebreakers where we told our participants to draw one of their group mate’s faces and let the rest of the group guess who that person was. it was quite a funny experience as at that point we were still quite unfamiliar with each other and having to draw unfamiliar faces led to quite abstract “art pieces”. we had a lot of fun then 👍🏼

# data[].attributes.body
ylead is hosted entirely on an online platform so the way we carry out programmes as well as interact with our participants is really different. this was an interesting experience where we had to step out of our comfort zone and try new things

# data[].attributes.body
My best memory was during the LD progs. During the personality profiling, we encouraged everyone to discuss and involve everyone. When participants had to discuss and come up with answers for The Last Quest activity, I was heartened to see one of my participants taking the initiative to ask a rather shy participant "xx, what are your thoughts?" I think this helped her feel more included and in the subsequent days she was more willing to interact with us and I'm glad they have forged memorable friendships.

# data[].attributes.body
My favourite memory is seeing my participants open up and grow comfortable and closer to each other, especially during RHC. It was very heartwarming to see how well they communicated and interacted in their individual groups and together as an entire group.

# data[].attributes.body
Through Y.LEAD, I have learnt on how to manage situations that may be unforeseen. As the event is held online this year, technical difficulties became a problem. Even though it caused some delays, we were able to resolve it eventually by working with each other as facils of the group. Other than that, we also had to juggle between many different tabs while ensuring that we keep our participants engaged. This allowed me to understand the importance or teamwork and cooperation and to pick up the ability of multitasking. Through Y.LEAD, I have been able to learn more on how to lead under circumstances that may be quite challenging.

# data[].attributes.body
i have become a more confident leader as im now more comfortable with make decisions

# data[].attributes.body
My best memory is watching everyone start opening up and stepping up to take more initiative to direct other group mates. Seeing how they went from shy participants to participants willing to get high together to do the cheer was very heartwarming. <3

# data[].attributes.body
to always be ready for any unexpected situations (to have a backup plan in case anything goes wrong), to be ready to step out from our comfort zones and take the lead and not be afraid to clarify when not in doubt instead of just going w the flow~ also accounting for those under my lead and taking full responsibilities of our actions n the tasks that we are assigned to :)

# data[].attributes.body
Calling my other facils at the start of the day clarifying our doubts n allocating the things to do to ensure everything went well. Jokes from our Facs head that is not funny but yet super funny from others reactions lol. and lastly how our participants cooperate well with us and try to step out of their comfort zone and voice out their opinions even if they don't know each other well.

# data[].attributes.body
Doing RV cheers online made the participants hyped and open up more. Seeing the participants lead the cheers were really funny and satisfying

# data[].attributes.body
YLead is the first camp I have facilitated that was brought online. It made it a truly different experience due to the lack of physical interaction with the participants, yet having us to live up to the expectations of how hype ylead will be for the participants. However, I think that the use of different communicating platforms and the different activities we have held was able to engage the participants to the best of our ability.

Through this YLEAD experience, i have learnt that things will not always remain constant and we will always encounter new problems and challenges in life. especially during the games and activities, where we need to work together to overcome the different forms of disruption we faced. we also learnt the importance of good communication and teamwork between groups to improve our effectiveness and efficiency during the activities. the ability to adapt is also important :D

My favorite memory is seeing the participants who were initially very shy and quiet starting to be comfortable with us and talking more. Seeing them joining in and participating in discussions was very nice as a facil and it shows that they are now more willing to take up more active roles in leadership and being more proactive for their future.

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing it was going to be online and the sudden increase in workload wasn't a good news. Felt really frustrated that it became like this and as everything being online makes it harder and more confusing. I now know what it means to lead in disruption. It is to not back away and hide when things get tough but stay and endure. It may be hard but it eventually gets better. Always be prepared, disruption isn't expected.

# data[].attributes.body
we are bound to meet disruptions as we walk through various experiences in our lives and they can take many forms. although they bring us inconveniences, these disruptions can also offer new learning opportunities and evolve our original plans.

before ylead, i though that leading through disruption meant having the means to change the original plan to work around the disruption. however through ylead i realised that we are able to leverage on our skills and abilities to retain our original plans, while introducing other aspects to make it better.

we should view disruptions as opportunities to learn more about our own skills and explore how they can be used to alter the original plans, instead of viewing them as hurdles preventing our success.

# data[].attributes.body
i have learnt to adapt to unforeseen situations such as delays and to think on my feet

# data[].attributes.body
After ylead, i've become a more confident leader and have stepped out of my comfort zone so as to lead my group in the event and have successfully encouraged the participants to speak up more too. I also learnt how to manage my time well and accept challenges.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the biggest difference is definitely the lack of interaction in this camp. Since it is online and this was also a challenge. But it was also one of the most enriching camp as i learnt a lot from this camp and i think i improved a lot as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Since Y.LEAD 2021 was the first online camp or event that I facilitated, its undeniably an unforgettable experience due to how unique it is. I think it allowed me to gain alot of insights like how my teacher would've felt when the entire class would off cam and mic during online lessons TT its so awkward and terrible, im so sorry to all my laoshi never going to ignore yall ever again!! I learnt quite a few lessons through Y.LEAD: the simple act of looking into your camera can increase the engagement between you and your participants and also how important it is to have participants on their cameras and mics to greatly improve the entire experience. Y.LEAD 2021 was surely quite different since it wasnt very fun but still quite a memorable event haha

# data[].attributes.body
During the journey for preparation of Y.LEAD, there were many disruptions throughout the process (eg. ylead from physical to online, postponement of ylead etc.). However, all of us as facils, we adapted to the changes well and were able to respond accordingly, therefore during the preparation of ylead has allowed us to Lead even in Disruption as we overcame challenges to make YLEAD successful. Now, during the actual implementation of YLEAD in the past 3 days, it was also not easy/smoothsailing due to the tight schedule, and hiccups in the communiction process at times. However, as a team, we were able to ensure that the correct message was conveyed, and ensure participants to take part in all the activities, so that they are able to pick up new things during the camp, showing how as facils, the preparation and facilitation of YLEAD has taught us how to Lead in Disruption.

# data[].attributes.body
firstly, using gathertown has definitely made the experience much more memorable as compared to other online camps that i have participated in, as gathertown is really a new and fun way to engage with the participants! i definitely learned a lot from this ylead in terms of my mentality and soft skills!

# data[].attributes.body
My best memory would definitely be the time i spent and bonds i formed with my facil partners and my participants. At first, I was quite worried about hyping them up as the camp is online and my participants might not be willing to on their cameras and talk. However, throughout this journey, I could feel that most of them were very cooperative and willing to answer us when we prompt them. Despite difficulties faced, such as some participants MIA or technical difficulties, we still bonded through this journey. The participants were more active. My facil partners and I were also trying our best to hype them up and these experiences were definitely my best memory.

# data[].attributes.body
Seeing participants break the ice and slowly get more comfy with each other, from needing to prompt them to them discussing and initiating convos to get things done on their own

I really enjoyed watching my members making up the artefact for RHC. While they were very awkward and did not know what to do at the start, they gradually warmed up and started to talk each other more and worked on the project. that really warmed the cockles of my heart as they are working so well together and just enjoying making the artefact, while laughing and making jokes. It was heartwarming to see and in the end they did finish the artefact on time!

# data[].attributes.body
the most unique thing about this ylead is that its conducted online, presenting many difficulties that i did not face when facilitating/ organising other events. so it forces me to adapt quickly and try my best to engage the participants which might have been easier if done in real life

# data[].attributes.body
the best memory from ylead is doing and watching my group doing the strawberry shortcake blueberry pie cheer because they were super cute. at first they were quite shy but then it is so heartwarming to see all of them unmute their mics and try their best to do the cheer. and because we had to do the cheer a few times to practise and the screen recording failed the first time, they were all willing to do it again and they have high expectations for themselves too as they volunteer to redo it🥺

This seminar preperation period is in both physical and virtual. Having to prepare the knowledge for both situations is unprecedented as a facillitator, making this experience unique from the other leadership experience. Furthermore, carrying out a originally 5 day seminar into a 3 day virtual webinar is a completely different experience from past Y.LEAD. Cramping all the events effectively and still achieving the intended impacts of the events, while keeping the vibes of the Y.LEAD seminar. Making this process different from past facilliating experience.

# data[].attributes.body
RHC! RHC was when the group was finally in sync and everyone started participating actively! I got to know many of my participants better and we forged strong bonds despite the online nature of Gathertown! It was heartwarming to see everyone speaking up on their own accord and I really had a great time interacting with participants! Here are some photos of my artefact group and the artefact we made!

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout the course of ylead there were many unexpected challenges such as numerous technical difficulties among many other areas. This has allowed me to learn to adapt in order to overcome these challenges. The crucial skill of adapting has allowed me and my partners to allow the event to be a success and the participants to enjoy themselves even in the face of challenges

# data[].attributes.body
i actually enjoyed talking to the participants and interacting with them made me feel like the prep for ylead was all worth it

# data[].attributes.body
My best memory would be interacting with the participants, although theyre still quite shy with talking to us, theyre very cooperative when we ask them to on cam. they are also quite smiley :)))) and it was fun when we get them to sing happy birthday

# data[].attributes.body
When I heard that Ylead is going to be held online, I was really skeptical and worried that the experience will not be fun. However, after meeting the participants, it made me realise that the facils has an important role to play to hype the participants up because they too would want to make the best of ylead even though it is held virtually.

# data[].attributes.body
My best memory from Y.LEAD is the morning activity on the last day, as our group managed to complete the activity and solve the riddle by 10 minutes which really impressed me. It was also quite funny to see everyone being so motivated to solve the riddle quickly so that they can go back to sleep (which they did for another 30min haha).

# data[].attributes.body
My best memory from ylead is during the first day when the participants were doing activities from LD. During budget 2079 I was so impressed by them because they took the initiative to discuss without much prompting from us and they managed to create not only informative but also beautiful slides within 5 mins. So I was thoroughly impressed and that’s my best memory because I felt very happy :)

# data[].attributes.body
One skill is the ability to think quickly on the spot. This may be due to the time constraints and technical difficulty. Therefore, it is very crucial to have the ability to improvise on the spot to keep the participants engaged and to keep the programme flow moving.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the best memory from Y.LEAD is that all my participants are very cooperative and work together really closely which is different from what I expected as I assume that some may be less energetic initially. Really love my group's vibes!! I also had a very close relationship with my fac partners, they are really nice people and we chat a lot and encourage each other everyday. Glad to have them as my partners and friends in future. Throughout this programme I had also improve my confidence level and know how to lead others better.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the best memories I have from Ylead 2021 was probably the witch dice game during RHC. The participants were more opened up by then and everyone had their cam and mic turned on as they went along with the game together. We had lots of laughter together during this game as we saw how each other struggled to finish the game and how one of them wasn't able to leave the game for a very long time. We had a lot of fun teasing each other and had a great time playing the game:))

With that said, even though the witch dice game was one of the best memories I had in Ylead, we still made many other really precious memories together as a group throughout the entire Ylead journey!!

# data[].attributes.body
ive learnt just how important communication is when facilitating an event of this size, there are numerous events in the 3 days and only through discussion with my facil could we have executed the programmes successfully

# data[].attributes.body
I think one thing I have learned was to be flexible. Being able to adapt to unforeseen circumstances really challenged me to think fast and act quick on the spot. Since it was an online event, there were many technical issues that arise...but it really pushed me to manage my time well and also manage the activities and information being relayed to the participants. I think being flexible is an important skill a leader should have as anything can pop up during the event. We have to adapt to such changes and think of a suitable solution to solve the problem.

# data[].attributes.body
My best memory is bonding with my fac group before and during the actual ylead

# data[].attributes.body
i think one of the best memories is the virtual cheer we did as a group. Although it seemed impossible to do it online, d51 was really enthusiastic and managed to hype the discord up! Also, it was nice to see the quiet ones stepping out of their comfort zones and were able to match their energy levels with the more proactive ones! While doing the cheer, we as facils could visibly see a few of the participants stepping up to lead the group. it probably is one of their best memories!

# data[].attributes.body
The VER was the activity where I think we actually bonded as a group. Everyone worked together and communicate effectively, and also we had some laughs. I was quite happy cause people was proactive in stepping up and try to get to know people. :D

# data[].attributes.body
at first, i was quite worried that participants wouldn't be responsive to us and the programmes planned out for them. for the first day, no one was really enthusiastic, but ive heard that they enjoyed it! from the second day onwards they were more participative and it's really quite nice to see it haha, and they were very enthu and initiative !!

# data[].attributes.body
Not resenting helping 1 of my group's mini groups ideate and implement their artefact because we were shorthanded. Although it was really tough, it allowed me to better understand what it's like for a participant in RHC, which is different from the experience I had as a participant myself 2 years ago. Through this I also learnt that some of my participants are actually easier to get along with than anticipated, so I guess also learning to keep an open mind when interacting with new people :)

# data[].attributes.body
My best memory from YLEAD would be during the LD programmes, when a few participants stepped up to initiate the discussions without prompting. LD was also done on the first day, when they weren't as familiar with each other yet, so I think it was really nice and commendable that they were still willing to take the initiative :D

i think my participants and my facil partners. i genuinely connected with them and i’m really thankful for the dynamics. working with my facil partners made me alot less drained about ylead, and our participants also do their best and contribute. i didn’t really expect this LOL

My best memory from Y.LEAD 2021 is actually RHC because it was so heartwarming to see my participants putting in so much effort to complete the homework and artefacts and they were so on task. I was so impressed with their quality of work given the short amount of time too. I was also shocked that one of my groups submitted the homework at 2pm++ too! rlly happy with their performance!

virtual escape room on day 2! my group's participants were pretty shy and quiet during the previous programmes but during this segment they began to discuss actively in chat and it was very heartening to see

As of now, my best memory of YLead is the tiktok dance we did as a group. To be honest, I initially doubted that this could even work out as our group looked quite unbonded especially since they hardly on their cams for the first 2 days and I was thinking that they would be reluctant to do it but to my surprise the reality was the complete opposite of my expectation. With much persuation, my group decided to dance together (including the fam head as well). In addition, what made it much more memorable was the fact that our group was most likely the only group that did a dance. So yay props to my group.

My best memory is the conversations that I have with my participants. Seeing the participants engaged makes me feel like I was doing well as a facilitator and it motivates me to do a better job.
