Reflection

I had fun in the convention but there were also problems that I encountered during the event. First is the place where we seated, I could barely see the emcees of the event, I do not want to rant about it but I just wish that there was a projector an screen in front of our side that shows what is happening in front, it was kind of hard for me to catch up on what’s really happening that time. And the second one is I ran out of seminar to sign up to, all of the workshops that I wanted to join is already full so I just signed up to the workshop that they added on that day to accommodate others who weren’t able to sign up for the workshop that they like.

Even though I had a problem in the workshop signing part, I am still happy that they gave us a fun and interesting workshop. I attended an ‘’Anger Management” workshop on the second day of the event held in Far Eastern University. Dr. Ronnie Motilla was the speaker of the workshop I attended, and I admire him for the ability to handle a larger group on a very short span of preparation time.

That workshop accommodated almost three hundred students, but Dr. Motilla was still able to make it interesting for all of us that almost everyone in the room participated especially in sharing their stories and their ways in coping with anger. He shared his stories and disappointments in life and gave us steps and different ways to handle the strong feelings in a better manner. But my favourite part of the workshop is the part where he gave us quotes. I like quotes not because I wanted a new status on facebook or in twitter, I like quotes because it inspires me more in life, it makes me feel that I’m not the only one who feels the same, it makes me feel that I am no different from anyone else.

There were two quotes from Dr. Ronnie that moved me. The first one would be, “Don’t settle for good when you can become the best. You can be good nurse but you might also be the best singer” – if not all , then
