Trip Organizing Committee
It is nearly impossible to compare my experience this year as an OC member with that of last year as a volunteer.
It is indeed a huge responsibility to carry out a project with a team.However, I've learnt so much more in this role. I've realized how organized and efficient I can be. I've learnt that I can sometimes be too task-oriented and I need to strike a balance. I'm also aware that I should be more open towards other people's ideas, and that it's better to take risks sometimes instead of always thinking of ways to avert unwanted situations. There are times when you have to challenge yourself to understand who you really are. I am glad I took this step and I look froward to more challenges in the future.

I found my duties as an organizing committee member quite challenging as I had never been a leader of so many people.
I felt stressed as I used to think an OC member must be extroverted, sociable and outgoing, which I was not. However, I have learnt that there are different styles of leadership and introverts can be strong in teamwork. Some of them are good at illustrating abstract ideas while some others care for the quiet kids and offer help to them. Some have creative ideas and some play well with the kids. It does not matter whether you are an extrovert or an introvert, we all have the ability to help the children in Jiangxi.

對於我來說，這是很好的一次領導能力鍛煉。
籌委這個身份提醒著我，讓我在準備時盡量考慮得細緻周全且實際，在給孩子們上課的時候時刻注意把握進度、隨機應變，在家訪時主動幫組員承擔很多溝通工作。這次當OC的機會，讓我可以感受到自己的成長。同時，其他三個籌委的幫助和組員的積極配合，也彌補了我有時會缺乏耐心或者精力的不足。
