Session 2

Session 2 was devoted to first impression. Did you know that it only takes 7 seconds to make either a good impression or a bad impression? That is why it is so important that when we go for interviews or important meetings, that we not only dress for success, but we also have to remember that our body language speaks louder then our words. Everything from the way we sit or stand can indicate how we are feeling about a situation. For this session the youth were in groups and they came up with a skit to show the importance of making a good impression. By participating in an activity such as this, the youth are able to see different situations and how certain instances can be avoided. The youth also drew on a stick person to show how to dress for an interview. All drew nice work wear on their little person, as well as good hygiene by drawing nice hair, which we spoke about taking a shower everyday and making sure our hair is properly done, deodorant is worn, perfume or cologne is light, makeup is light, teeth are brushed, nails are clean, etc. These all seem like such minimal tasks, but people don't realize the impact it can have on giving a great impression.
