Through this MPU program, I truly
understand myself better. In the past, I have no idea what to do when I finish
study. After all these programs, I finally know which path to go and how to
pursue my dream. I have a clearer aim and goals after this program. This
program is very useful to my study journey and my life.
In the first lesson, I was
introduced to Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities which stated the eight important
capabilities that are needed to find a job. This lesson made me understand that
I had to develop more capabilities so that I can find a career easier in the
future. I now know that I lack of which capabilities and able to improve
myself. I am also more aware of what I should do to survive in this modern
world full of competition.
Next, I learnt about SMART
Goal. This tool is used to make our dreams come true. S.M.A.R.T. is specific,
measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound. I had set my goals in my life
which is to get good result in my A-level exam, to get into university of my choice,
and also to meet great people and good friends. To achieve these goals, I have
to work harder to keep myself on the right path towards success.
After that, I carried out
personality test. The result shows that I have ISFJ personality which means that
I am a quietly warm, introvert, factual, sympathetic, detailed, dependable,
organized, thorough, conscientious, systematic, conservative, realistic,
caring, practical, stable and helpful person. Even though some of the
personality I do not agree, most of them I agreed. Therefore, I think that this
personality test is quite accurate. From this personality test, I can
understand my own personalities better. I can then improve myself to be a
better person by referring to the good personalities that I lack of.
Then, I did another test
which is V.A.R.K Learning Styles Test. From the result, I found out that I am a
visual learner. Visual learner learns through seeing. By identifying which type
of learner I am, I can now find out ways for me to focus during study for a
more productive learning. For instance, I can make colourful notes and use
highlighters of different colours to highlight key points. I can also utilise
mind maps, graph, flowchart and simple diagrams to enhance learning process.
Next, I carried out SWOT
analysis. Through this analysis I am able to identify my strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats in my academic pathway. I will have to maintain my
strengths or make it better and of course improve my weaknesses so that I can
be a better person. I should also be open-minded to the opportunities out there
rather than being confined in the comfort zone. Most importantly, I should be
aware of the threats of Facebook, gaming, movies and so on because if I spend
too much time on these, I will probably end up crying over my bad grades.
Also, I did the career test.
This test is to identify which career matches our personalities so that we make
the right career choice. The result shows that I am suitable to be a business executive,
administrator, manager, accountant, auditors, Maths teacher, mechanical
engineer, technician, police, detectives, judge, lawyer, medical doctor,
dentist, computer programmer and military leader. I think this result is not so
accurate because what I am interested in is a career related to health science
and now I am considering pharmacy. Nevertheless, I will still take the result
as a reference to plan my career pathway.
Last but not least, I
appreciate that I have attended this program so that I can understand myself
more and develop personal skills. I know more about my strength and this gives
me confidence in pursuing my dreams and to further my studies in my desired
university. Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Kannan, our MPU lecturer for his
guidance.
