Getting Closer to Special Awards
Forget about saying that it is my dream to appear as a debutant for Special Awards. forget about that dream of mine. It is not just my dream, is also a dream that we all share as 1 team. Never mind that 1 has gone for so many of such performances and gained so much experience and learned so much, yet that passion and motivation to make another appearance still burns inside her like fire. This is a team dream made for a dream team..All dream for the same thing, same motivation, same goal..It seems cool that for the first time, we all are wanting and chasing the same thing..
As guitar coordinator, my job is to call the members to come for practice, and also to motivate and encourage u all to seee and share the same goals and objectives that i lined up to achieve with this team. And although some may see me as not doing a very good job as coordinator, I still stand by that I still got to do wad I am asked to do, when Janice first gave me a chance to be a coordinator, to lead the new team into success.
I have high hopes for my guitar team, starting with this upcoming Special Awards this year, which I hope is just the beginning of more success to come. Yet it left with another less than 3 more weeks before Special Awards Day, still the team of guitarists are not as yet ready for the performance, even myself is not ready, and I know that..
Yes, we know that we are not ready yet, so thus the need for extra guitar practice after the normal lessons with the teachers. The extra practices has to serve as a purpose, to give the team more time to practice and cmbine together, play as a team.
Yet i feel that during during extra practice, peter has not shown to me and the team his passion and enthusiaism to play for the team. He simply shows no interests and wont want to practice with us, when the rest are putting so mch effort to prepare for this event. Yet he just refuses to practice with us..
I know that this team indeed has great potential, seriously, this team can go far..As a team, i feel that Peter is causing a disturbance to the chemistry of the team. I see a divided team, not the team that i thought I had made together. When during practice, even if peter doesnt want to practice, he should not disturb those that want to learn, want to reach the goal of appearing for Special Awards this year. He only joins us to slack around and also to disturb the rest, which really I am disappointed in you.
The team has a divided opinion, whether you should join us for extra practice anot, never mind being able to appear for the actual Special Awards performance. Almost all had wanted him to be not involved in the extra practice, because they feel that you are affecting the rest of the team that wants to practice, I and TJ was the only ones that thought ought to give him a chance to prove yr skill, show that you are an asset to the team, rather than a liability.
I tried talk to peter and encourage him to put in effort to play for the team. I tink he doesnt know how much is the honour to represent awwa to be up on stage to perform in such a grand event such as the Special Awards. Peter, You said that you purposely did not want to show yr true ability using the guitar in case you are acting to be too pro, look as if you can own the rest of us..
Forget about saying that as you claimed that amanda and me are the best of the lot. I tink that isnt the case at all. I see the whole team as equally having potential to succeed. In fact, I have never focused on just getting amnda to perform, certainly not. Forget about having talent in this team, I care more about the effort the individual put in, certainly not about talent.
The 8 of us here all started the way the first time we joined guitar, just learning our trade to a new instrument. I also started to learn from scratch. Is all about effort and passion de. Take for example, Yuan Ping, see the way she improved so much though she started slowly, and like peter, also had difficlty at first. See the way she plays now, i can trust her to put in a good performance during the actual..She has indeed become 1 key player for the team liao. Forget that peter may see me as a very good player, is not that I am talented playing, is just that I put in alot alot of effort to learn and progress lor.
If there is 1 time which I want Peter to play well to his best, is that day when Special Awards comes. I want to lead this team and play well to introduce to AWWA that this is the new sparkz, which has already tasted so much success...
