Educational Achievement: CC
Member’s
personal experience
Q : What
does this educational achievement means to you?
A : This
CC achievement represents my fourth CC attempt and I am already embarking on my
fifth. When I repeat my CC Manual - it is always about doing it better than the
last time - and so, it is about self-betterment.
Q : How long does it take to complete the educational goal?
A : This
particular attempt took me 422 days. My earlier attempts took 218, 260, and 360
days respectively.
Q : How did you complete your educational goal?
A : I did
it because I recognize that to be a good speaker, I need to speak regularly -
hence my personal goal of wishing to speak at least once a fortnight. This
excludes taking part in Table Topics, Evaluations and/or Contests. Most
importantly, I did it because I enjoyed it immensely.
Q : What have you learned most from this journey - to achieve the
educational goal?
A : I learned that there is no one excellent
speech - it is always about speaking to improve. I also learned that
Toastmastering is a journey of self-discovery.; that we are always learning to
improve and be a better speaker.
Q : Any personal setbacks or limitations while pursing the educational
goal? If yes, how did you overcome it?
A : If
there are challenges, I will just bulldoze my way through and do the best I
can.
Q : Any words of advice, inspirational quotes or encouragement - for
members who are "trying" to achieve the educational achievement?
A : My
word of advice is to banish your fears and speak. And learn to enjoy speaking.
Q : Do you have any future plans after achieving this award?
A : My future
plans are to continue speaking and once my AG stint is over, to participate in
contests.
Q : Do you have a personal mentor to guide you on achieving this
educational goals?
A : I have
no mentor; everything I know is self-learned.
Q : When did you join as a Toastmasters member?
A : I
joined as a Toastmaster on July 01, 2008.
Q : What does communication and leadership means to you?
A : To me,
communication is extremely important because with communication, there is
understanding. Leadership is equally important - but it should be servant
leadership.
