Challenges and Skills:

The leading weeks to women’s week were especially challenging as we had to plan and assemble all the materials needed for the activities taking place. Making more than 500+ ribbons by hand was one of the most challenging parts as we areee a small group in our services but had to make ribbons for all their homerooms in secondary. Many of us had to take the ribbons home and continue making them. Another challenging obstacle were the cookies for the bake sale. We needed 200 custom cookies in a short period of time which took a lot of research and bargaining to be able to accomplish. However both the challenges were overcome by not only planning the week in a smart manner so that the cookies can have more time to be prepared and we can complete the ribbons during the weekend.  

Initiative and Planning:

As one of the only DP’s in our service, I did a lot of planning and initiated many ideas as I was one of the oldest in my service and could arrange and attend the bake saldistributeall the ribbonsons secondary andapresent the presentation in the primary assembly.
