Victory and Defeat

Dear reader,

This June I learnt about managing relations between my students and external organisers. That may involve confronting judges or facilitators over unfair conditions. This may also be acting as a motivational speaker or even an source of assurance with the students.

I learnt to handle victories and defeats. I learnt to always focus on improvements, rather than criticisms. Most of all, I learnt to be mentoring. I will write more on this next time.

Regards,
Reuben

Beating the odds

Dear reader,

As I ready the logistics for my students this week for the BBC magazine competition, I know the odds are against us. This will be the first time we have qualified, and we will be up against many hot favourites.

Nevertheless, I emphasised on effort and teamwork. After all, the victory is not important. But the camaraderie is.

Regards,
Reuben
