Leadership Training Seminar or LTS is a yearly NYSTESC activity that may no longer be interesting. But as Regional Coordinator of Region X, it was an opportunity for me to attend LTS year after year. I view every LTS as a new and different learning experience.

The format and activities may be the same, but the dynamics are far different than each previous year. There are old faces, like old friends I met and renewed friendships with. There are also new attendees who are student participants with different talents, strengths and weaknesses. The venue is a different place which adds to the list of the beautiful places we have visited.

Worth mentioning is the increase in the number of participants that has made the activities a more participative and competitive experience among students and advisers. The essay assignments allow students and advisers to be more attentive and be able to respond and express their views on the lessons.

This year’s LTS acknowledges the critical role of advisers as provided by the necessary equipping through the film viewing and participatory activities.

To PSYSC, you have done your job well with utmost commitment! Continue to be creative, and innovative! Thank you for the valuable learning that would help me become a better mentor of the Regional PSYSC X!
