My first reaction was to understand why I have struggled with a lot of situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It shed more light on affairs of life and helped me decide to be more me. An example is the known fact that I wouldn&#8217;t say I like standing in front of people (no matter the number) to present something\/someone. The topic that helped my case is Hope (Motivation of learning) and Improvement (Focus of learning). Coincidentally, I had a debate presentation a few days after both topics. As I got to the class, everyone expected me to be shaky on my feet and probably stutter for a few seconds before shutting down then going back to my seat as last time. I did not catch cold feet, neither did I pause momentarily, though I stuttered a lot. I finished my presentation contrary to most thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the presentation, I would have felt down, but I&#8217;ve learned that improvement is a gradual process. So I look forward to improving more. Through the leadership program, I embraced these personal life mantras: \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Never expect people to build their lofts to reach your heights,&#8217; &#8216;learn from yesterday, develop today, win tomorrow,&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;When it is good, laugh, and when it is bad, roll on the floor and laugh at yourself, and the happenings like you&#8217;ve never done before are only a phase, not a lifetime pronunciation&#8217;, have hope or give up&#8217; and many others.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I look forward to continuing this journey, and so far, it has been exciting and full of &#8216;food for thought.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am grateful to Youth Hut for this program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Never expect people to build their lofts to reach your heights,&#8217; &#8216;learn from yesterday, develop today, win tomorrow,&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1721,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-testimonials","entry","has-media"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.youthhut.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.youthhut.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.youthhut.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youthhut.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youthhut.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.youthhut.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youthhut.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.youthhut.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youthhut.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.youthhut.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
