Today, I supported my friend who was participating in “Lietuvos Tūkstantmečio vaikai.” In the show, talented children from all over Lithuania demonstrate their knowledge by answering academic questions. My role was to motivate and encourage him throughout the experience, helping him stay confident and focused.
Participating in such a competition can be stressful, and I noticed that my friend felt nervous at times. I tried to support him by offering reassurance, reminding him of his abilities, and helping him stay calm. Even small words of encouragement made a difference in boosting his confidence.
This experience showed me that service does not always have to be large-scale, supporting someone emotionally can be just as meaningful. Being present, listening, and motivating others can have a strong positive impact, especially in high-pressure situations. It was rewarding to see my friend feel more confident and perform with a more positive mindset.
LO4: Show commitment and perseverance in CAS experiences – I stayed supportive and attentive throughout the event, ensuring my friend felt encouraged at all times.
