"My First day at Visible Impact"
After a long time communication with the Team of Visible Impact, I finally got the chance to meet with Team Sarathi and Visible Impact family. I went there with my brother and it was the most awaited day for me. And after that we reached to Visible impact I met my brother friend’s whom I had already meet. Each face was new to me but also we started to talk with each other. I was excited, happy and nervous all at the same time. After few minutes the session started with the warm welcome with the card and playing the game with introduction. In the introduction process we had to include 1 to 10 numbers with name in sticky paper. I wrote 6 in that paper which meant I should tell 6 things about myself. Session started with ground rule and all the sisters and brothers presented it turn by turn. When they told me to write in sticky notes related to task, I got nervous as to what to write. What if I write something silly and people make fun of me when they read it. The atmosphere inside the session was amazing and I realized that I am in between with different talented people. My excitement slowly depleted because I saw other confident people. On that day, I was the only one who was not opening my mouth because of fear and my mind was blank. The redness on my face and the pounding heart proves that I am afraid and may be like that I have accepted my fear as the part of life. In this way, the first day of the training ended on a low excitement level because of low confidence. After that I came back home and recalled the day I feel guilty that my performance wasn’t good enough and that night I convinced myself that I should speak up and should say some words at least and I should also give my view also. And the training was up to two days. And most fun part is that whole night I speak on my dream though it was weird to say whenever I have to go visible impact I speak all night but after those things letting aside there is positive vibes also. Visible impact is that platform where I have learnt many more things, getting new experiences with new people. Through the workshop, I have learned many things, even from the children, they are so active that they raised the questions without fear. First day was definitely big things to me but my friends told me just chill and tell what you know and after that slowly when I am exposed with them my fear went out and now these things are being minor. I am so thankful to the whole visible impact family that they motivate us and gave a golden opportunity to being a part of Sarathi.
