HC News Forum

This Wednesday I participated on the News Discussion Forum hold by HC students. I didn't have time to join it at first because of my make up class. However, the class turned out to be finished earlier so I had the opportunity to join the HC News Forum.

There were two topics at the forum, one is General Education and the other one is Internet Addiction. We were divided into 3 groups. Each group had a different role. We had to express our thoughts in the group and let the leader to speak out for us.

Although I didn't speak much because of my lateness, I noticed that everyone had participated so eagerly even the ideas they had were sometimes banned. I realized that was the attitude a leader should hold. Never give up to speak out as long as you think you have a good idea. The communication method is also important when you persuade others to buy you.

So to be a leader, you must have good communication skill and be able to think critically. You have to express your idea clearly in a right tone and at a right speed. This is what I still have to improve. I think the forum provided me a platform to learn from others and force myself to use my brain to think things deeply. I think from now on, I have to read more news so I can gain more knowledge about different things in order to speak out more next time!
