During winter break of 2013, I had the chance to participate one of the most exciting leadership program that I have ever been to and it is one of the most important experiences that I have had so far. Leadershape is not simply just a leadership program, it teaches you how to be a man with vision and how to make your life worth living. We spent six days at camp higher ground to participate in group learning and skill developing in order to help us being successful in our life. Each day is a new challenge that we have to get through in order to discover ourselves and to build a strong community to learn from each other. The most significant thing about this experience is that it is not like any other program that I have attended. Usually a leadership program would teach you things like leadership theories and characteristics of leadership but this program teaches you how to work with each other, how to see the value in every single person to strengthen the value of the group. It also different because it teaches you how to realize you goal in life and what you really want in your life through the work that you have done everyday. You might not think about it but seeing your true goal in life is not always easy and I finally had the chance to actually sit back to think every single night during this 6 days about my life and my goals. It is actually really amazing to look back and to see how much I have grown during those six days. To me it is never about where I want to go, it is always about what I am striving for, what motivated me to work hard every single day that I do not know and through this program I finally saw it. We do no actually have a proposal for this program but to be honest I always think that it is going to be a short class with us doing the writing and professors doing the teaching. After being through it, I now have a totally different perspective about a leadership classes and how they should be. I think they should be just like leadershape with talks to shape your knowledge, reflective writing to learn what you realized and activities to shape your skills.
I have made a lot of good friends in this experience. It is the best leadership program that I have ever attended. I have applied so many skills that I learned here into my life, my works. I have used these skills to make photography club run better and I also use these skills to manage my life more efficiently. I always remind myself that I need to make my vision come true and that I have to keep working on the 7th day.
here is my reflection on this experience.
