I am taking Leadership 201 this semester, which is about how to take initiative as a leader, and how to inspire other followers. My group mates and I created a workshop in one of our class activities. The purpose of our activity is to help students who are having trouble of studying anxiety, handling stress, managing time, etc. We had discussion about how to organize the event: requirement, advertisement, schedule, and so on. Our group was consisted two Canadian and three international students including me. We set up the date twice, February 21^st and March 31^st. We had hard time meeting up in a group: some people started non-communication thing such as not replying email, texting, etc. In addition, some midterms were coming up, schedule was conflicted, things were going around differently, etc. Two Canadians organized most the stuff and made some tasks to do each week.

On the first event, which was right after reading break, we got only one audience. It was not enough time to advertise which worked better in second event. However, we could listen to the lecture by ourselves so we could see how the thing goes. We were given almost a month to prepare for second time so it was not that hard, and we knew what we should do and what we have to do. Later on, one of group mates booked a meeting with Radle, who is from communication center, and we got some new ideas for advertisement. For instance, making poster in other languages, announcing events on local TV, sending information to instructors, etc. They turned out effectively. On the day of event, we set up the popcorn machine from Student Union office, and made a last advertising. It called a lot of listeners: we got more than 25 people on the event! I learned a lot of things getting involved into organizing this event, and of course, and from listening to the lecture. It would be helpful a lot in my life. Thank you for coming to my event some of my classmates!
