GRADE 10 CLUB ACTIVITIES (tv series club + leadership)

During the term 1~2, 2009, I joined the TV Series Club, not only as a club member, but also as a leader. As a club leader, I did more things than others did during and after the club activities. I could found out the club’s strengths and weaknesses easier than others could as well. At the end of the 2 terms, I developed myself by joining the school clubs and realized how two work effectively with other students at GCA.

In Sep. 2009, Candy in 10-E said she would like to make a new club and asked me if I would like to be another leader of this club. She said she would like to make a TV Series Club. I agreed her idea, and then became another leader of this club. Later on, we started to make the table and advertisements for our club. We made three copies for the table and taped them on the wall in GCA. To our surprised, many students wanted to join our club, and that made Candy and me very happy but a little bit nervous. After one week, we took down all the tables from the wall and typed all the information there in our computer. Soon, we decided to hold our first club meeting. The meeting was quite successful. First, Candy introduced both of us when I was writing down our cell phone numbers on the whiteboard. Then I told all the members about what they were going to do at our club activities later on, and asked them for their suggestions. At last, we decided to hold our club activities on every Tuesday after school.

After the first meeting, Candy and I went to a DVD shop together. We needed to buy some TV Series DVD for our club activities. During the process, I asked Candy if we needed to buy some movies as well. I explained my opinion to her too. I thought TV Series is quite long, but our club activity would only last for an hour at one time. The members might feel bored if we only watched TV Series for weeks. I thought it might be good for all the members if they watched movies sometimes. Finally, we bought two TV Series and five movies. At the beginning of our second club meeting, I showed the members all the videos Candy and I had, and wanted them to make their own decision. There were some arguments when they were choosing the DVD. They wanted to see different videos. At last, Canady and I decided to obey the majority’s will, and told the others that we would watch the videos they wanted next time. Any way, almost all of the club activities after the second meeting were quite successful. At the end of term 2, Candy and I started to do the verifications for all the club members. We really had a hard time on those verifications.

As a club leader, I found out some strengths and weakness of our club. Many students were interested in watching TV Series or movies, which was the reason why our club got many club members. However, there were still some weaknesses of our club. I thought we might make some changes. In my mind, a club could not just made by fun, the club members needed to learn something from the club activities as well. I thought our club might ask the members to write something about their feelings about the movies nest term.

I believed that I developed myself by the club activities. I thought I could be a better leader than these two terms next term. On the other hand, I hoped I could learn more experiences from the coming club activities.

Also, luckily, I was chosen to be a member of our school leadership club, and i learnt many experiences of being a leader from this club.
