Final Reflection

Finally, a week of MPU(personal development) has ended. The final reflection will summarize all the activity we have done for this meaningful week. Through the MPU activity, We get to know more about Taylor's Graduate Capabilities(TGC) as well as our strength and weakness and way to improve ourselves in order to achieve our goals.

For the first day, we were divided into group of five to carry out group discussion. My group manage to work together very well. We shared ideas as well as experience about various activity that we apply TGC on and how TGC allow us to succeed.

Then, we learnt to create our own blog and post our assignment with it. It was very interesting as this was the first time for me to experience blogging. Through blogging, I could share and describe my strength, weakness, my goal, myself and also my experience.

Moreover, we carried out SWOT analysis. Through this activity we manage to know about our Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threats. This analysis allow us to discover ourselves and know more about ourselves. As well, how to improve ourselves by knowing our weakness first.

After that, we began to set our SMART goal. Through smart goal, we could clearly see the way we achieve our goal. Furthermore, we had our  Action Plan based on our SMART goal and SWOT analysis. From this I understood that action speaks louder than words. Besides that, in order to achieve our goal we should know more about our strength and weakness first and study smart to succeed.

Lastly, we had taken 3 learning style tests. Through these test, we could know the most appropriate learning style for us. Therefore, we could as study effectively through learning style that suit us the most.

In conclusion, I think it was fun having MPU (personal development) class. Not that we gain knowledge from textbook but know more about ourselves and study smart to achieve our goal.

My Action Plan

Having a target is a great start, however action speaks louder than words. So, I have an action plan based on the SMART plan. My goal is to achieve A* in further mathematics. If I get to achieve my goal, I will able to apply to a well known university which will lead me to a bright future. Of course, my parents would be really proud of me.However, there is always obstacle that resist me from reaching my goal. This is because further maths is really an challenging subject. Besides that, I am kinda a lazy person and always procrastinate. So, an exercise a day maybe a mission impossible. I am a careless person as well. I make silly mistake everytime especially for maths.

To attain my goal, I will manage my time wisely by setting time frame so that I can stop myself from procrastinating and make sure that I will finish at least a set of exercise everyday.

My family always give me support. My brothers always teach me the easiest way to solve the maths problems and my parents always give me encouragement whenever I was upset for not able to solve the maths questions.

My Inspiration

The person that inspires me is Hebe Tien. She is a singer. Not only that she inspires people through her songs but also her attitude and personality. As a famous singer, she knows that lots of people would have interest about her. Therefore she use her opportunity to spread positive thoughts and encourage people especially her fans to involve in any charity activity. Even though she is well known and has won lots of prizes she still remain humble and alwayd giving out her best in every performance.
