It's hard. Let me tell you if someone asks me how was TechStage, iId definitely say that it was hard. When I first joined this ExEd, I set my expectations high because I used to organize lots of events in my previous school and I loved it! I like to help people doing something and make sure it went well without any mistakes. I think it's just my personality that likes engaging myself with activities that require lots of communication with people. And yeah this ExEd is exactly what I want to do for my leadership role next year. And when I said TechStage is hard, I really meant it at least for me.
Here's the problem, I'm not a native speaker and I'm still having trouble speaking to people for the first months here especially when I'm doing my first job as a TechStage member which is NAD cultural days. It was so hard for me to back then to communicate with other people which is making me frustrated because I know exactly what I need to do but the language barrier seems never give me opportunity to try. And also I don't like people to look down on me in any aspect. So the desire to do a good job in this ExEd and wasn't able to do that makes me insecure to communicate with others for a short time.
Also for the first (official) event which is NAD is such an unforgettable moment for me. My leaders are amazing they know how to handle things fast and also the other second year is wonderful. Even though at first it's really awkward for me to talk to them because I'm the only first year there and I'm not that good in socializing with second-year -I think but yeah the fact is NAD wasn't a really good experience I'd say. I mean the first experience sometimes could be not good right.
But it's all good after that. I learned lots of things about this ExEd also kinda joking around more with them but yeah it was fine. I overcome my fear, push my limits and challenges myself. The event itself went smooth and I feel like I get more engaged in this ExEd because we're working as a team for every event. And I'm pretty sure eventually my communicating skills would improve till I'd be in a place where I could say "yeah Rara, you're doing amazing today! good job!"

In the middle of the semester, one of my friend, Sanam want to join TechStage which makes me really happy! cause finally we have another firstie!! and also she's gonna be with us in our next event which is Winter Concert. it was such a fun event and the performances are just impressive. I hope I can be the next leader for this ExEd with Sanam next year. I'm looking forward to working together with her in the future.
And guess what? the next coming up event is CLAD!! it is one of the most anticipated cultural days in UWC-USA! and I'm pretty sure the rehearsal are all going to be so long. It's on next semester so I'll update the progress in my other post! Adios~
