“What are the chances?” I thought
to myself. Two squares to my side, and two squares ahead of me. I make up my
mind, as my shivering foot steps forward; all eyes look at me with eager now…
Had I ruined everything?
On the 14th and 15th of February,
Form 7 had a workshop on Leadership. We had two people come from Youreka who
made us realize the importance of leadership through several interesting
activities. The workshop started with a basic introduction to then trickling
down to knowing ourselves and our classmates better. We then discussed each one
of our role models and why we looked up at them. Some people said it was their
determination while some said it was their open minded nature. And that opened the door to the many activities
that were in store for us. Surprisingly, we realized all of these skills came
down to your level of confidence. 
I feel that this workshop really helped me boost up my level of
confidence and it changed the way I view many things. I also learnt to respect
everyone’s opinion as that’s the very first step towards success.
A leadership workshop was
conducted on 14th and 15th of February for the seventh grade students. It was a
life changing experience for me in which I learnt so much about myself and many
other things. Our main objective was to use ESTAR in our daily lives. ESTAR
stand for-Ethics, Self-confidence, Taking charge, Achievements and Respect for
others. We came to know about each of these terms by doing activities and
discussing about them. I had never enjoyed so much with my classmates: playing,
working, thinking and the thing that mattered most was that we all were
together. No boundaries by gender, reputation or any other kind of prejudice. I
wish we have this leadership workshop every year. As I mentioned it was a
lifetime experience which I will never be able to forget.

Soon enough, we were taken to the
field where we played a game in where which each of us had a chance to complete
a maze-like mat. When we went back and discussed the activity we realized
almost every one of us made a careless mistake because deep inside we all had a
pressure and a temptation to be the right one and that’s what pulled us further
away from our goals.

The leadership workshop that
grade 7 did, was certainly a new experience for us. On Thursday morning,
waiting for the counselors to arrive, we had no idea of all the fun we would be
having. Most of the time, we played games such as guessing the other person
fast, minefield and a blindfold game. However, these games each had their
learning. We played a game called the poker face, which I think opened my eyes
the most. We arranged ourselves unconsciously in the order of what we think of
ourselves in the class. At the end of each day we sat down and discussed what
we did during the day, and what we learnt. We worked on coordination and team
spirit. At the end of it all, I think, it was fun and we learnt a lot , about
us and others , and I would be willing to do it again.
