Reflections
No work is so hard if we will accomplish it with passion.
No effort is so small if it is offered wholeheartedly and humbly.
The annual celebration of English Festival has always been a
challenge for all of us. The conceptualization of the theme and
the execution of the product of all the plans and preparation of
the said event was all been carefully well-thought-out.
However, even we aspire to make the event completely perfect
for all the students, we as facilitators fad also challenged by
different snags.
There are personal issues, time conflict between the officers
and members, pressure on academic demands and the abrupt
change of school event particularly the College Night that
lightly affect the preparation of the event. We believe that
Letranites are called to emerge in whatever difficulties that
they will encounter. The success of the event is the proof of
this. We have observed that there were some parts of the
6
 events that do not ran smoothly but we manage not to blame
each other for it. We end up laughing at each other’s mistake
and grateful that all the hardships were all paid off.
Our journey in this event had thought us life-changing lessons
and helped us to be more unified especially when it comes in
doing cooperative-based activities. We are also looking
forward in making the next event more exciting for all our
fellow letrnaites.
