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.

Every exams, I wasn't able to do as good as I wished for, but I didn't stop by that but reflected in the exam and though about what worked well, and what I need to develop. Every exams, I set a higher goal which can lead to my own development.

After every test (finals and midterm) I always reflect on my test and why I made those mistakes. This helps me understand the topic better but also leads to getting better grades next time.
