Life is a journey, and each one of us is traveler. Taking risks, failing, gaining, losing, all of the moments happening during the journey make us the unique one in the universe. Starting from the Jan, 11th, 2016, my new journey begins.
Before the first class of the HONR202, I knew nothing about how it would be going. I had heard something about Dr. Udani earlier. Someone complained a lot about the tasks and missions, which worried me a lot. However, it turned out the worry was unnecessary. Frankly speaking, I really like the way Dr. Udani teaches us. He didn't just tell some stories and then give some lessons. Instead, he let you, yourself, to experience what he wants you to know by the activities, which is quite different from the other professors. You must challenge yourself and conquer your fear from time to time to do the jobs. Things are really hard sometimes, but taking risks is exactly the meaning of the journey and the reason why journey is so interesting. Still a little nervous though I am, I think I'm ready to face the challenges.
As for the spring retreat, it teaches more than any lessons I had taken about the teamwork. Before the retreat, I knew little about my teammates. I mean, I knew they were brilliant person, having colorful experiences, doing well in academics and having a lot of talents. However, I didn't know their characters, their personalities, the way they treat others and something else. I even felt worried about how to get along with them. However, during the video-making period, every one of us tried our best, giving ideas and finding tools. Charlotte found something useful from her SA office and did a lot on the techniques; Aurora came up with kinds of brilliant ideas, Eurico, Hailey and I tried to make the plan better and gave suggestions on the details.
However, there does exist something pitiful. The video cut app in my computer couldn't read the video captured by the iphone. We used kinds of methods and downloaded tens of apps to transfer the video type to the appropriate one, which took a lot of time. Because of that, we had little time to edit the video, and many wonderful ideas couldn't be realized. The only thing we could do was to make it more like a video in the shortest time and tried every effort to put our original ideas in it. Each one of us was anxious and tried to make every effort. I felt really sorry that I didn't check the app before the shooting. But we tried our best. I feel proud of every member in my group and thanks to Dr. Udani, let me know those cute and responsible friends. Here is our work.
The new journey begins. I have packed my courage and responsibility on road. 2016, fighting~
