Day 7,
So by this point in time, everyone’s contracted some kinds of virus. But that doesn’t stop us going out after the 12am…
In day 7 many things happened, like the rest of the days during the project. I would like to highlight 3…
1) Project reflection in the morning by the mentees - Catherine and I got the chance to debrief and share our thoughts with 2 mentees, Thanh Thanh and Tuan. We were talking about our impact, what needed to be improved… But Thanh Thanh and Tuan shared their dreams and thoughts. PV’07 has revitalized their energy to dream. For Thanh Thanh, she no longer doubts her dream of being the torch in the field of Psychology in Vietnam. The study of people interaction and behavior is very limited in Vietnam and she would like to change that. While hearing their thoughts, Catherine and I looked at each other and we realized we had the chill going all over our body. It was so powerful at that moment, and so real. I can still feel it. Any way, we didn’t expect to see the fruit of our work so soon… But we do hope that the fruit we beared will only get better and bigger… Just want to applause you guys for the work that you have done so far in Vietnam.
2) We love spot-light on. Questions about John, animals, dreams, choice of death-liquid, and more John were asked. We usually only have 2 spotlight on. But tonight, we had 3. so it was a very nice break from a hard day at work.
3) In the afternoon, we saw the intensity that exists between mentees and their teams. Amazingly, they become very competitive with each other. They really enjoy their work and want to make the best. These all are good things, except not when it has negative effects. And especially when you are on the SAME TEAM!!! So Selena and I gave another workshop about teamwork and team dynamic again. We did the hands-lock… making them work together to untangle each other. We hope that it will have a positive impact on their leadership skills development.
Thank you for a wonderful day and a wonderful week so far…
ONE LOVE,
– An Vo
