At last, on that day, I felt delighted and contented that I have completed my first journey in Toastmasters. I managed to complete both books which consist of 10 speeches and 10 projects within a year plus after I joined the club.
It was not an easy task but with a good time management and determination, it was possible to complete both books within a year. I also had the opportunity to record my 10th speech and when I compare with my 1st speech, I was satisfied when I saw my development within a year.
By accomplishing the first part, I have received from Toasmasters International Organisation 2 certificates and the organisation had sent a letter of notification to my supervisor that I have completed both books. From my 10 speeches, I managed to win 4 times as a best speaker. I do feel rewarding and appreciated in both occasions.
Eventhough I have completed the first stage, there are more to come in the advance manual. The journey are more challenging and I will need to select 2 books to start of as an Advance Communicator. In leadership area, I will need to accomplish my term as Vice President of Membership in 1 year to serve my club and its members. It is one of the criteria to achieve Leadership Bronze status.
Balance is the word of the game. In this game I need to balance between my work and also decdication to self improvement. Toastmasters are part of "work in progress " type of self development. It has benefited me a lot and I will strive the best to complete my 2nd journey towards ACB & ALB status. My feeling now? a mix of excited and anxious at the same time. Insyallah , in Allah's will, everything will be fine.
