INSTRUCTIONS: BEFORE STARTING THE ACTIVITY, MAKE SURE TO READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.

Use Loom to record yourself while reading the article aloud. You may split the reading part into as many recordings as necessary. Afterward, take some time to reflect on those difficult moments when MK became our mental support. When we were close to quitting due to overwhelming work pressures or personal challenges. Think about those times when family issues or personal struggles weighed heavily on us, and how MK, in addition to being our mentor, stepped up as a friend and as a companion. MK’s guidance, empathy, and willingness to listen during those tough times made all the difference, showing us what it truly means to lead with both strength and compassion.

In your Virtual Professionals notebook, describe your experience with MK, highlighting how she demonstrated the qualities of both an ideal leader and a true friend. Be honest and provide a detailed reflection, with a minimum of 200 words.

Do not use ChatGPT or any AI tools to generate your output. However, you may use ChatGPT to check the grammar.

Important Note: As much as possible, do this activity when you are calm, not rushed, and when your mind is clear and relaxed. Avoid doing it during busy or stressful moments to fully benefit from the experience.
