Joy Of Learning

On 3rd and 4th of Nov last year, I had the privilege to conduct a Public Speaking cum Hosting workshop in a school in Telok Blangah area. These children were handpicked to be comperes, hosts or emcees in major school events.

I had a bunch of eager beavers. Those nine year old children already had a full day in school and by the time I saw them in the afternoon, I was surprised that they did not show any sign of tiredness. They were raring to go. I was inspired by their enthusiasm and joy of learning.

In the midst of the training, the children had to make presentations in front of the others. When they made mistakes, I kept reassuring them that it was perfectly fine. I told them that they can make all the mistakes they want. They were so relieved. We had so much fun training together. There was so much laughter that day. Deep in my heart, I believe that these children will go very far in their quest of learning.
