The
APPTS 4th National General Assembly AND 'Buhay KaPTan KaPTkamay, Ka PT,
KaPTbisig 2013' Leadership Training seminar was held at Our Lady of Fatima
University-Antipolo on July 6. We, the Far Eastern University-Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical
Foundation PTSC members (Aldwin, Ramon, Jihan ,and I), attended the seminar. It was my first time to attend the APPTS NAT.
general assembly and the leadership training program. The Leadership Training
was led by the Ayala-Young-leaders.
We
left around 7am from Fairview Q.C and arrived at OLFU-Antipolo around 8:30am
that day. We met Dawn Garela at OLFU-Antipolo, she is currently studying at University of Santo Tomas where she is currently
a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy student. She is also one of our
Student Council presidents’ friend, Ramon Mejia.
As soon as we arrived at the OLFU-Antipolo AVR where the seminar took place, it shocked me to see a lot of students
coming from different schools. Some were from PLM,University of Batangas,
OLFU-Valenzuela, and many more.
The assembly helped me gain
new friends from different universities with the same program I am taking up.
APPTS
conducted several activities explaining what they would want for the future of
the physical therapists.
The
leadership training was a fun way to learn a lot of things on how to become a
true leader. One story was told to us
was about two caterpillars named “Yellow” and “Stripe”. They correlated the
story on how to become a leader. The Caterpillars’ trials and pain in the story
illustrated the reality of todays’ world to us. We need to become patient and
learn to decide for our own and for the people around us, the ability to
sacrifice and learn from our mistakes. It
calls the attention on bringing the best out of us and in everyone around us.
We had some team building activities that tested us if we had the abilities of a
true leader and a true follower. One thing we truly learned is that we all have
to work together in order to achieve a GOAL.
I would like to thank the
APPTS on conducting such a successful program, and will surely continue to
support the APPTS.
It was such a great learning experience to
participate in the program.
