This news is cool enough to be shared to you

A while after I finished the last task given by dr. Rob, good news came to me. I was called by my coordinator that Ms. Stacie wants to talk to me. She give me Ms. Stacie's phone number and ask me to call here ASAP. When I called her, Ms. Stacie said that I was selected to join the Youth Tech Camp at Vermont. I'm so glad and can't wait to fly to Vermont this weekend.

Now, I'm counting down for the #YouthTechCampVT #GNML #campchamp !

The most important thing I learned in GNML online program

          The most important thing I learned in GNML online program is when I know that I cannot participate at the camp in Vermont this April.
          I learned to stay graceful when I'm not getting something that I want really bad.
          I learned to give more effort to something that I want really bad.
          I learned to more appreciate another people's effort who want same thing that I want really bad.
          I learned to finish what I've started, such as this program.
          There are still many more things that I learned from GNML online program, that I can't describe one by one. But still, the moment when I know that I cannot participate at the camp in Vermont this April, gave me the most important thing I learnd in GNML online program.

The most challenging experience of GNML online program

          The most challenging experience of GNML online program is when I decided my project idea.
          It challenged me because it takes a time to research what problem in my country, that at least I can try to help solve it. And as a student, I realized that education is one of the biggest aspect in my life for now. Not only that, it also challenged me to choose more specific problem, which finally I chose drop out and fighting between students from different school.
         It challenged me more when I have to make a brief explanation --which is the first post in this blog-- about my project idea. I have to make people understand about my project, and even better people support it.
         It makes me think that deciding my project idea as the most challenging experience of GNML online program.

The most rewarding experience of GNML online program

          The most rewarding experience of GNML online program is when I was making my elevator pitch video.
          I learned how to explore the idea that I have more. For example, my project goals are to empowering drop-out students and make peace between students from different school, but I have to explore my goals more so it's easier to understand by another people.
          I also learned how to present my idea to another people. I have to make it interesting. I learned that simple animation and background music make my video a bit more interesting.
          Those make me think that the elevator pitch video project is the most rewarding experience of GNML online program.

p.s: don't forget to see my video! i posted it below this post :)
