So, yeah. I haven't posted for a while... The main reason is SCHOOL! I am really busy  with school just like in making assignments and studying for quizzes and all those kinds stuffs. 

Anyways, I kind of like school right now because I make tons of fun, meaningful, and exciting memories at school. One of those happened last Thursday during our Filipino subject. Our teacher asked us to have a group activity. The task was to discuss and answer the question that she gave. After our group discussion, one member or some of the members or all the members should report the group's answer to the question. Of course, the teacher has a basis in giving the points.

In order to get a perfect score, I have decided that I should be the only one from our group to report because I am actually really confident in talking, reciting, and public speaking. I was already prepared to report our answer in front of the class when suddenly  my group mates asked what are they going to say during the reporting. Honestly, I was really surprised to their reaction because I know them and I know that they do not have a lot of experience reporting or public speaking. I didn't know what to say because I really did not trust them in doing the report. I was already panicking because the teacher already said that we only have 30 seconds left to prepare and finalize our answer. By the way, when I panic, I usually forget all the stuffs in my head. There was no way that I am going to memorize all those sentences in 30 seconds. 

So, I finally trusted them in doing the report because we only had two choices and those are for me to report alone with 75% assurance that I am gonna do well but if I am gonna report alone, I will be sad deep inside because I would feel like I did a big act of selfishness and the second one was to report as a group with 50% assurance that we are gonna do well. So, I divided our answer in four parts. I recited the first part; Krystelle recited the second part; Cyrone recited the third part; and Justin recited the final part. It was actually a good thing that all of us memorized each of our parts before we presented our answer in front of the class. 

Then, we had our presentation which was surprisingly really good. It really surpassed my expectation. and I was surprised that we were able to do that... We were able to report as a group. 

Our rating for our presentation was 14/15. I was fulfilled that we got that grade because each one of us really did our best. I know that the fulfillment that I had when we received that rating, when we presented our answer as a group is better than receiving a perfect score if I presented alone because I would have felt selfishness deep inside. 

I realized that I shoul have trused them from the start. I should have never underestimated them. 

I realized that in order to be a good leader, you must be a good member. In order to be a good leader, you must not be selfish. And in order o be a good leader, you must belive that trust is a must!
