An Evaluation on My Success


A word and evaluation from the leader of my team, in table form because that's the way it was written when I received it (making tables in Blogger is not easy):


Observation and Comments
Nathanael gets together and organizes practice times effectively, as well as planning the flow of the performance and other details (e.g. tempo and beat).Nathanael has been punctual every time. He’s a good listener and teammate as he always attends to others’ suggestions. From his performance over the last 12 months, I can say that Nathanael is willing to cooperate with different people.

He does not feel nervous about speaking to other team members and sharing his thoughts.
Nathanael doesn’t speak much. He usually speaks to one or two particular teammates who have been working with him for a long time. His volume is low. Sometimes, teammates may find it a bit difficult to understand him.

He makes effort to prepare for the worship and participate more in the team.
Absolutely agree. Although he doesn’t speak, from his performance during the worships, I can say that Nathanael does pay a lot of effort at home in rehearsing the songs. This is because we can always find that his performance is much more fluent than we first practice.
He ‘experience’ the joy of ‘serving’ God. Agree. One of the indictors is that he smiles more than before during the practice. Occasionally, I can hear what he plays is a bit different from what we have rehearsed. I would say that’s because when he plays the drum set, he experiences the presence of God and the joy of music.


It would appear that I have improved on all but the speaking portion, which has always been a personal difficulty of mine. I'll probably keep serving on the team, and I plan to work on this.
