The progs. for the 4 days 3 nites are full packed with activities that challenge students' phyiscally and mentally.. One of the objectives of conducting this prog. is to developed leadership qualities amongst participants. (at the same time making them a man...ani di rumah saja..main games or chatting..)

An excerpt from the 7th Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Ro. Covey...
"Roles and goals give meaning and order to life.
roles can help us maintain balance in life. Within each role, goals define what we want to achieve. Goals are the basis for weekly and daily planning. The best goals are tied to a personal statement mission"

Writing a mission statement is an adventure in self-discovery. It's a way to discover purpose, know oneself better, and uncover talents, interests, and the deepest desires for life.

Listening to presentation.....

Note: Work hard...study smart & focus...you will definitely will succeed....insyallah!!!!
