** it was a random thought and it came in a sudden while preparing for an interviews. haha... Funny enough as it was not really complete and professional in introduce one self. Need comments!! hahaha...
My name is XXX. As a freshie who’s just
graduated, currently I am searching for dream, rethink of what’s the purpose of
life and also planning for my future.
All of these came across after gone through years of life
experiences, here is the standing point to organize my thoughts which is not
yet completed.
I am coming from an ordinary family, which I always like
to introduce my family structure with the name of “HamBurger” or any burgers
name will do. For the reason is, I have 6 siblings in total, and the eldest is
my brother, yet the youngest is me; in between are 4 sister in total. It
represents my brother and I as the bread and my sisters as the meat inside (However
I have no offence on the gender sensitivity to tell girl as meat or boy as
bread).
When I was a child, once my mother asked me, “hey ah boy,
what’s your ambition once you grown-up?” I still remembered I was watching a
drama, on the police chasing the criminal, without thinking more I replied my
mom, “police”. From there implanted a bad habits of me, I was easily influenced
by my visuals, on what I look at.
Recalled back on my primary school life, the most
significant and terrible experience I had
gone through was when I was 8 years old, I had been selected to perform a
speech, however due to my ego of being selected, I was lack of practicing and
the consequences was, I gave the speech haltingly. Besides that, I were quite a
naughty boy, always thought of some weird games or activities according to the
resources that I can gain idea from the surrounding. My friends and I also like
to draw some comics with our own story lines, even some bad things was included
in our books. Therefore whenever I have the opportunity to counsel some “bad
students”, I would like to challenge them, if you think you are bad, how bad
have you done if just lazy or playing truancy. A reverse ways of psychology
tricks.
My secondary school life, was the journey I withdraw
myself from the past failure experience in delivered speech. I spent up almost
my whole secondary life to stand again on the stage, to deliver a thank you speech
at the closing ceremony of a school motivational camp as I am the camp
president. How I actually did that was, it was really lucky that I have chance
to participate in church volunteering program, as a youth leader since 14 years
old until present. That the great decision I had made during my youth period in
taking up the challenges.
Is not easy for me to talk in front of people as I am a
slow person, I need more time to prepare, and assume what might people ask or
response, from there to design my way of conducting speech or training.
Therefore, I know myself that I need more time and still a long journey to go
before I can become a professional trainer.
The reason why I want to be a trainer was quite simple. Through
some exposure in different kinds of social works and care, especially in the teenager
group of age, by walking along the street looking at the homeless; the empathy
in me was a calling, I have to help them!
Unfortunately, I have not much money to donate as the
money could help in a long term. I strong calling from my heart with a rational
consideration, I would actually hope that, someday, I can establish a NGO in delivering
aids in development for these youth in poor and homeless who is willing to help
themselves but without medium. Through different participation of forum and
program, not to empower my knowledge and understanding, but it affirmed me that
I have to do this one day. In fact, starting from now, I have begun step by step
with what I manageable to contribute.
I believe, with a passion is not enough, I need
professional guidance to complete my empathy in a more practical ways. That’s why
I am here today, thank you.
additional question might be asked that did not clarify from above:
University
level:
I want to make my lifestyle a balance one, in a holistic
aspect. From the programs or activities I joint, I’m quite picky, I have
participated in a event program which I have to deal with different people in
exchanging ideas, such as Cultural Festival. Besides that, I also join Choir as
I see it as an artistic enjoyment for life, sport such as basketball and
starting from last year, I was learning how to swim and register in various
workshop or conference to make myself updated to current issues, last but not
the least was volunteering program that I always enrolled in.
Exchange
to Korea:
I will say that the time at Korea was the great
experience I ever had. It helped me in dealing with the lonely feeling, from
there, I have to adapt myself to a new environment and gladly I managed to pick
up very fast. The achievement I had done at Korea was, I took the initiative to
be the information transmitter to friend from different countries, hence, it
helped me to know new friends faster when I gathered useful information for them.
I also enrolled in a society, as one of the activities planner working in a
team to design special activities for exchange students. Lastly, I had been
selected to participate in a hope mentoring program which I have to take care
of a Korean middle school students. The role I played is to share daily life,
listened to the mentee sharing as well, and also organized outing to build up
our friendship. I felt that I am living at a foreign land but a local heart.
*** keep bluffing...
