A challenge I am participating!


Well, a full day participating in a challenge has never been an easy thing! Today is one of the most memorable, challenging and useful days ever in my life which began with 80 competitive shorted list participants in the morning and ended up with only final 16 at night! Some of you may wonder what type of challenge I joined and some may think that what's a tough game! Yeah, it actually was! ( lol, wondering ... ), the challenge I am talking about is Youth Leader Challenge (YLC) season 5! YLC is an innovative reality television show that combines entertainment with valuable learning opportunities for the youth of Cambodia. It was produced and developed by the International Republican Institute (IRI) and the Youth Council of Cambodia (YCC) in 2006. The existence the challenge is a fantastic signal for the future development of this miserable country--Cambodia since Youths are the bamboo of a nation! "Strong Youth, Top Nation".

As I decided to participate in this challenge, I've now reached the last 16 round! It was not that easy to pass each round! As I know, almost 400 people applied this challenge; however, after background selection and an interview, only 80 contestants were accepted! This morning, everyone was invited to participate in the challenge which began since 7am. Meeting many people from really various backgrounds who have their own potentials and talents was a huge opportunity to get to know and learn from one another; The game began with the group work by 16 contestants each. I, fortunately, was in group 4 whose members mostly friendly and knowledgeable. Then all group were asked to form a name and symbol of their group by giving about 10mns to discuss! Everyone started sharing his/her own opinion. After a while, we finally formed the conclusion. My group members' idea were great! We decided to put the name of PEACE which had a hidden meaning P:Participation, E:Encouragement, A:Achievement, Commitment and E:Excellent.

To be continued... quite tired, srr
