A JOYFUL CLASS FULL OF LAUGHTER
This week, our HONR202 class was so noisy! It was nothing like the other university classes which I have ever had, or you have ever had. I think that the previous classes were already quite different and unique, but this week, the class was even more surprising and norm-breaking.
So much happened in this class. To start off, we had Chark singing her amazing winning song. Then we had the girls' dance group's performance. They really did a great job and their dance steps were very synchronized. What immediately followed was the boys' dance group with their energetic performance. Adding to these wonderful surprises were the inspiring presentations by Jessica and Candice. Their excellent presentation skills and the confidence while presenting were something which I can actually learn from. Last but not least, we had the yummy refreshments prepared by Group G. These performance and sweet refreshments were all too wonderful and I'm really delighted. HC2016 never fails to surprise me, and I'm looking forward to the next class!

ONE STEP OUT OF OUR COMFORT ZONE
After a day of relaxing and wonderful class, there is one thing for my self-reflection, and that is the power of stepping out of the comfort zone. I truly appreciate all the performers who worked so hard to perfect their performance. What's more is their confidence and courage to step out of their comfort zones. Some said that there are people who are natural born performers. That may be true, but I think most people do not belong in that category. Therefore, in order to do well in the performance, or in some other occasions in which you need to stand up and speak up, accumulating the confidence and courage is important. However, these are something you hardly acquire unless you try and STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.
I still haven't fully stepped out of my comfort zone, but I'm constantly trying and the experience of being outside the zone is great. You feel like you overcome yourself. You may be scared at the first few steps, but as you walk on, you will feel the satisfactory and joy it brings you, and you will never be afraid to do the same thing again. Just overcome that insecurity and you will feel safe. I hope I will soon be stepping more outwards and overcome the fear.
