Final Reflection on Learning

The reason why I took this module at first was because I finally realized that the daunting reality of having to step into the working world was creeping at my doorstep. I will be graduating this semester and, soon, will have to look for a job. I found myself lacking in knowledge about the makeup of a good CV, things to note for a job interview, etc, because I have been shunning away from them. Hence, with the simple goal of just wanting to gain such job skills, I took up this module.

Right now, at the end of the module however, I found that what I gained that were more significant to me were the life lessons. Be it the experiences working with our classmates, or the small add-ons in class about what mind set we should have when dealing with certain situations (which I personally like very much ^^), I find that these are things that really stick with me. Sure, book knowledge is important, but I think it can only make our work easier, but life lessons can make our life (including life at work) easier.

For me now, I kind of dread stepping out into the society. Just thinking about the possible lashes I will get from the storms of life makes me shudder. I don’t want to grow up, yet I want to mature (quite an irony, huh?). Nevertheless, we can’t stop the flow of time. One of the things I will keep in mind from this module is to work on broadening my mind. The video in the second last lesson which said that when we deal with an angry person, we can just imagine that he ran over his mother, and so on, was really good ^^

Overall, I am very thankful to Dr Radhika and all my ES2007S classmates (Chen Ruo, Markus, Vanessa, Jacob, Yvonne, Ding Long, Jie Li, Nan, Di Sheng, Liyana, Claudia)! The cookies we shared during our last lesson really warmed my heart ^^
