 Personal Reflection

The researcher was part of an organizing committee that did an inter-house Track and Field
competition on the 25th of September 2019. The competition went well and was successful in the end,
although the researcher had faced some difficulties. Some difficulties faced by the researcher were
organizing statistical sheets for the tournament, the tabulation of score were difficult.

In addition, the researcher also had some fun moments while carrying out his job/task, such as
getting ready athletes for discus throwing and it was shot not. They worked in the sun for a long while.
It was funny for the researcher because he was an event official and didn’t know what to do. It was a
great experience for the researcher being an Event Official. Many things were learned such as how to
ensure how to make a competition “runs” smoothly, and to tabulate/set down scores in different
tables.
