The most exciting part of my experience was definitely the Melo Summit of 2022. It literally felt like reaching the summit of a mountain and gazing out at the breathtaking view in front. Our group was composed of people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, majors, and so on, and we were working on a theme that we had no prior knowledge or experience. Regardless, we worked hard, and while we did face a lot of difficulties or troubles along the way, we were just delighted at the fact that everything worked out fine with results that satisfied all the parties involved. We grew as a team, learned from each other, and finished as a whole. It was a moment that I will never forget and one that I can look back on with pride and joy. What else can be more memorable and exciting than this? It's only possible through something like Project Melo :)
Hope I can experience more of my life.
Public speaking and storytelling have been my dream since day one. Those kind of genuine and heartfelt stories that build rapport and spark inspiration with the audience. Hope I can experience more of my life, and someday return with more meaningful stories to be shared, with more meaningful changes in the making.
Dream Big, Act Small!
I enjoyed the most is when the genuine meeting with our beloved CEOs with Kenny and Randy, where two generations communicate peacefully. I would never expect Randy is so passionate and a pioneer in youth empowerment and social justice. We need more authentic communication ground like this!
Despite many working experience that I had compared to other students I know, working with students from other education institutions, experts in the field and CEOs while starting a project from stretch, I am aware of my inadequacy in problem-solving, design thinking and communication. As Winston Churchill once said "failure is not fatal it is the courage to continue that counts", the lessons and skills I learnt will be taken into all scenarios in life and my future workplace. My experience in the Melo project affirmed my intention to work with purpose and social impact in the future and when I am graduated.
“This is an amazing program. I had a great time engaging with the Melo Fellows. We need more of this type of community driven leadership in the world and I see Melo an important empowerment platform for our exciting new generation. I am excited. For our new generation, let’s get into the arena!”
"Really well organised conference. Superb contents, articulate speakers, fantastic venue, noble aim. Well done. Congratulations."
“This is truly a community effort....And I’m honored to be part of this new initiative.Yes, there are challenges ahead, for both our students and corporates... but I remain confident that our Melo Fellows and Peers together with the CEOs can learn from each other how best to weather the uncharted journey ahead.”
