1st blog ever, HELLO !! :D Welcome to my Blog!! Hope you enjoy it xx.
To be honest, even had a lesson for half an year with my HC classmates, I still not really familiar with my classmates except those who are from the same major as me. Since over the last semester, the main format of class was lecture about leadership. Therefore, we seldom had opportunity to get close with each other. For that reason, I expect HC class in this semester is somehow similar to the class in the last semester which is lecture. However, situation changes out of the blue.
In the first class, information about the class was still given by professor Udani, but he added something different within the lesson to break the deadlock. He invited some classmates to sing, dance, solve the cube... The most interesting and shocking activities done in class was all the classmates follow the Just Dance video dancing around. Before the dancing, we were all quiet and not really participate in class. Somehow after the dancing, we were soon heat up and involve ourselves in class. Although not really an active participation, still better than the times earlier. Since this class is not a 'dead' format lesson, I am looking forward to HC class and expect not 'lecture-like' class to learn leadership skills in the coming HC classes.

After the first class, we had a retreat three days later. The retreat is an activity we shoot a video about HC according to group. Honestly, I am quite afraid of this project as I am not familiar with my group members, that I might not work well with them. Luckily, we played two games before shooting the video in order to let us know each other more. Then is the video shooting that changes our relationship.
This project requires us to shoot a 3 minutes video that introduce HC, servant leadership, HC student and gratitude. During the video shooting, we had many laughers and a closer opportunity to get to know my group mates. We came up the idea together, shot the video together, worked hard together, we became more closer to each other through this activity. Despite the fact that we did not win any awards, I still consider I win the biggest award though. The biggest award to me is friendship, the bonding between my classmates and me became much more stronger through this activity. The friendship that I won was nothing can compare to and was precious to me. Therefore, I am glad that I participate the retreat that I can become more familiar with my classmates and we become friends afterwards.

If I only can use one sentence to write on the first page of my HC experience in 2015 , I would probably write 'nothing can compare to'. Since this experience is I cannot experience in other places or other circumstances. Therefore, this adventure will mark on my life forever and I will never forget.
