Prom Sashes
25/5/2019
Since Class of 2020 is arranging prom this year, The student representatives had sub-leaders for each responsibility. In this case, I was a sub-leader for sashes and titles. This task requires a lot of collaboration and commitment from the whole group. In which I've learn to become an effective communicator while distributing work to each person. Another factor was that my group wasn't as close to the seniors, therefore, we need to be caring about their feelings and their reputation. After all, I learned that a teamwork really does make things happen on time.
