Really cool, interesting and challenging project.

My IB classmate suggested in our Facebook group his idea of a new project. Basically, we, a group of students, will go to a kindergarten and just read them fairy tales. Seems easy, however it is more challenging that I though it would be. Of course, without any questions and investigations I signed in and our organizer found 2 kindergartens who would accept us and we started our project. Up until now we are doing weekly fairy tail telling. Actually, one of the hardest part was to do it weekly. I am kind of a lazy person and do to something consistently and same every week is not for me and I saw that this was actually my biggest weakness. However, i didn't loose myself in the moment and with a hard effort i done it consistently. I showed perseverance and commitment. It was hard at first, but gradually it became easier. I was kind of impressed that I could do it. I found also that it helped me to how commitment with other tasks and I realized that it is really important if you want to succeed somewhere. With this new insight I done a lot since then towards my personal skills and goals. Also, doing this project I developed some new skills. The most important one is communicating with children. It was a shock and appeal for me to go there for the first time, because it is hard to deal with a whole room of kids. However, I still showed perseverance and step by step learned to attract their attention, listen to them and etc. This activity also helped me to increase me fluently when telling or reading something, in this case fairy tales. It was always a problem of mine and I didn't have any practice to deal with up until now. So now I'm more confident with speaking to a larger group of people. Talking with kids actually does a lot of good things for you, however it's harder when speaking with children, because no kindergarten would let us in if we didn't were ethical. This means, we needed not to use any curse words or say anything that would result in 'infection' of a child brain. It was hard for everybody, but we were in groups of 2 people, so if someone almost stepped out of the line, the other one could catch him and save him, so we didn't have a problem with it. Actually, working together with a partner is really interesting and you get to know your mate and broaden your connection with him. At first, it was hard to collectively tell a story and to do it in an interesting way, but after some time it was done almost perfectly. Nevertheless, it was an interesting project to take a part in. Also, it showed me my artistic, because you won't 'sell' the story if you won't do it creatively and with your heart.
