HUMBLING
I was defeated at week 3 O&T when I had unparticipative VFs who are mostly unclear of their roles, and I had to adapt my facilitation to suit their level and keep the engagement while getting all of them to try the role play as much as possible. I learned to adapt my mode of instruction to be less ambitious in future but maybe at the bare minimum ensure that they are at least comfortable with the space to learn.

What is one word that describes your CGFK VC Journey so far?

DRAINED
Had to adapt my mode of instruction to a group of quiet VFs who are mostly unfamiliar with the game and focus more on basic engagement than quality

# data[].attributes.body
It was quite sad(?) cause people in my room was really quiet and most of them are on their intern so they didnt really participate

# data[].attributes.body
Great seeing new faces. The first few VFs were a little shy to open up, while the next few were able to learn from the feedback given and implement it

# data[].attributes.body
Too many VF too little time

# data[].attributes.body
First time handling returning VFs! Very interesting and insightful to hear their tips & tricks :D cool to know some people were already volunteering since june or have alr attended 8 sess this time :O

# data[].attributes.body
Was interesting to interact with different people and see how they handled situations and scenarios :)

# data[].attributes.body
took the returning volunteers today

they were all familiar with the content + prepared which made the entire process really smooth sailing

Managing a larger group of people

# data[].attributes.body
Meeting new people! Cause I think I took some time to really build rapport with them at the beginning so it was nice to see that they were comfortable with asking me any questions they had and not feel so pressured during the session.

This was also my first time so scary TT

What is one highlight for you today, and why?

# data[].attributes.body
Being a VC :D. It was my first time taking on the role of the VC and realised I need to juggle a lot of documents in a short period of time.

I forgot that an icebreaker is not meant to be "strictly followed" if the children are already energetic enough talking among one another since the purpose of an icebreaker is to energise, we should actually not miss this opportunity to engage them through getting to know them better through conversations -- my awesome VF made this good observation and now I remembered what I forgot

# data[].attributes.body
positive feedback goes a long way

# data[].attributes.body
There are many fun ways to engage people such as sharing fun facts to find the common interest etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone was keen to share their experience and give tips to one another.

# data[].attributes.body
Not easy to engage a larger group of audience over zoom

# data[].attributes.body
Always to encourage and assure them for their hard work

# data[].attributes.body
I learn that ice breaker is really really important cause people perform much better when they ae comfortable

# data[].attributes.body
Being fun is a good way to encourage participation

What is something new you learned today that you didn't know before?

# data[].attributes.body
Although I prepared the teachable moments for the VFs adequately and managed to make full use of the time engaging the VFs and facilitating their learning process, I felt that the vibe I give off to my VFs was quite tense and I seemed more like an "expertise figure" rather than a friendly companion to the VFs. As such, I could not sense whether or not I managed to build a good rapport with the VFs. Hence I feel that the greatest challenge for me to learn to overcome is in building a relaxing atmosphere, especially as I am expected to be a role model in terms of engaging the children. In future, I can pay more attention to how I facilitate the teachable moments for the VFs rather than what tips I provide for the VFs in terms of how they can facilitate teachable moments for the children.
