Today’s lunch time marked my very first meeting for my new global concern called surf-aid. I feel a lot more comfortable in this new GC as it I have more friends here and I understand the goals and the mission aim of this GC.The experience was very enjoyable and some goals I aim to achieve by doing this activity are that I would like to help the surfed cause by participating in all external fundraisers for the GC and aiming to share information about the cause to me peers. I also aim to gain more knowledge about the area that my GC is aiming to help, I have a rudimentary understanding of what the cause is about, however, I hope to develop this in the future.
One thing I noticed is that most members of the group actively participate in the swim team, despite this they made me feel very welcome and they were all very kind.The environment was very laid back, although I believe this is because it was the first meeting.We all had to complete ice breakers and a give a brief description as to why we wanted to do this GC and mine was that I thought that It would be beneficial for me to make new friends at this new school and also that I had never been in a Global concern before and I was intrigued as to how It all worked.
My goals for the first session was to simply greet new people and show that I was engaged and someone who had the capacity to be committed.I achieved this by showing up punctual and not being shy by participating in most of the conversations. My aim for next time is to develop further knowledge about my GC.
