60th RTD: Proposal Writing

'How can I express myself in only 250 words?' someone asked.
'We are shy to brag about ourselves, it is against my believe,' the other said.
"That's the art of writing proposal when you apply for scholarship," an answer came.
"So, Damon, guide us..."
"Yes, please lead a workshop on this.."
"We urgently need that skill, Damon.."

So, then, we decided to hold a "Workshop" on Proposal Writing
on Wednesday, July 26. It also marked our 60th round.

The session was oversubscribed only in 3 days after being announced. Up to the last day, we had rejected over 15 disappointed participants. And..believe it or not, on the D-day there were still 3 participants who simply tried their luck, they attended the session anyway. There were 37 participants in all.

After a short theoretical introduction, D assign the participants to write a short self-introductory paragraph. Five minutes was over, some did not even know what to write, though it was about ourselves. Then Damon explained and give pointers of the need to draft and revise and revise and revise and finalize.

The workshop went on for 2,5 hours, and the participants seemed to have gone nowhere. We really did not want to stop, but time was running. Damon had to leave for the airport to catch a flight.

"Judging from their short paragraph I read around, they need at the shortest a 3-day intensive workshop, Kun, " Damon commented.

So?
