4th November 2012, the time had arrived. I went to Taman Sri Nanding by car and bring along my friend as a volunteer to help our group project that day. The program start smoothly. We start with arranging the table and chair for the audience for talk session. Then we arrange 4 station for health screening and consultation. The first station was BMI, second station was blood pressure level, third station was blood glucose level and the last station was foot inspection on sensory.
The program officially start at 8.30 am. All the peoples that came need to register at the front table and get file and also some food for breakfast that were prepared by the JKKK. We lack of manpower on that day and all peoples need to rush to do their task.
Around 10.30 am that was mu turn for giving talk about diabetes on the medical side which are the sign and symptom of the diabetes. I hope that I was fully prepared on that time but I felt so nervous. During my talk, I so glad because all the participants fully participate by asking question and also opinion. I realize that there are a lot of things that I need to improve especially my communication skill. I talk quite fast and some of the participant I guess had difficulty to catch my words. I take all of these things into account and I'll improve it from time to time. This task give me meaningful experience that is hard for me to find. I feel very responsible when my team member gave this responsibility to me and I was tried my best to do it for my team and this project.
We face a problem because after I'm giving talk, it should be Pn. Rafidah turn to give talk but all the audience disperse after my talk. The main objective to exposed the participants about the role pf occupational therapy in this talk was not achieved. But we decide to tell the people about our role when they do the health screening and also we distribute the poster and flyers inside the file that we gave to them.
The program end at 1 pm. I'm really thankful to God with what we had achieved on this project. We still satisfied with the number of people come to our program and it exceed our target.
From this project what I had learn :
1) To be responsible when people trust me to carry out an important task such as handle the talk session
2) Be aware with the target audience that I delivered my speech because they might not understand my word
3) Polish the communication skill so that the way of delivery the message to the audience will become more smooth
4) Always being prepared with the problem that may be arise and need to find alternative way to settle the problem
5) Get many friends and widen the network
