I finally pushed myself to write something about one of the coolest experiences from this year. And yes … it’s the NPS (National Preparation Seminar).
First Impressions
I don’t know where to begin. I applied, I got selected. I wasn’t quite sure this will happen. The moment I got selected, pressure started to build up, emotions, days passed, we got to know the faci team, chatted on the community, exchanged files, finalized the agenda. I couldn’t wait to get there, to be there, to start the experience. I was to excited the moment I arrived at the conference site.
I was determined to be the best faci I possibly could be, to keep on smiling, to bring my knowledge and support for the guys in the team. I was somehow disturbed by some of the tired and long faces that greeted me in the pre-meeting. I was thinking (and saying it sometimes), hey guys, you choose this, and you choose to be here, why the long faces? I tried to keep my spirit and attitude up till the end of the conference, I don’t know if I managed, but I tried although it was very, very hard sometimes :D.
