People helped me decide whats best for me and what I need to do and when I need to do it, mostly seniors and other friends who have more experience than me.
Empathy
When my friends asking me for advice, I can see how I can put myself in their shoes as before I find it difficult to think emotionally.
Empathy
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
During the exam period, there were various assignments due at the same time. For example, EE, the IAs, self-study, and assignments were to be done simultaneously. This required multitasking, where I worked on one assignment while finishing up the other.
Multitasking
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
As I want to work with wildlife or contribute to support nature, i took initiative to apply for internships or volunteer work at farms, vet clinics, sea animal conservation centers, animal shelters, and animal adoption events.
