empathy when helping others during times of need.
Empathy
I have a chance to think about my weakness and inception and completely reflect myself
Resilience
I failed in entrance test in other uniersity but I learned a lot from that
Resilience
when I was a bachelor's degree, pursuing higher education made me eager to refocus on how to get scholarship, and although many times failed.
Resilience
When doing an internship, I was faced with many challenges and had to do many things in order to over come said challenges. I went through multiple design and manufacturing processes which made the product better. However, It took a whopping 3 years for me to perfect one section of the specific item. Although it took time and many trials and errors, in the end the feeling of completion was very happy and great.
Initiative
Coming to terms with your identity is such a big part of your high school life, and I think realising that the way we act has a large impact on the world around us has taught me necessary lessons on self-improvement.
Self-efficacy
When studying, I realized that music was a key factor in creating my focus. Although it took some time to understanding, I was able to master. By the end it was great way to increase my productivity over time.
Self-efficacy
I think the IB required tremendous resilience, as it required a lot of time, effort, and mentality. I struggled to keep my motivation high, however learning to be resilient towards my challenges helped me overcome the difficult periods during the IB.
Resilience
Through reflecting on my academic journey, I realized the failure to achieve my personal goals near the beginning of my school life encouraged me to study harder, set higher goals, and most importantly, reach those higher goals.
