1st Activity ( 27/4/2009 : Reflection after BIG II )

Reflection
After attending the BIG II program, I found out that I am not as optimistic as I think I am. In fact, I am quite pessimistic when I encountered with things that I am not interested in. If I am given a choice, outdoor activities such as what I did in BIG II will never be in the top list of “Things that I want to do”. Before attending the camp, I had set my mind to negative perceptions. I got many worries before the trip and I can’t enjoy the days after my final exam. My days were filled with anxiety before BIG II started. Though I was still uncomfortable for the first day but I enjoyed myself throughout the whole trip. I experienced something new in my life, something that I never expect that I will enjoy it.

Self enhancement
I think I should always expect the best in the best of all possible ways since worries couldn’t change the fact of life.
