Month: March 2011

Through out this year, I have learned many valuable lessons from Comm299. In the first term, I was able to refine my speech skills and was able to get advice for further improvement. In the second term, I was able to gain input on my resume and interview skills and learn new techniques to increase my chances of getting a job. On top of that, I also found that I had a misconception towards getting a job. Comm299 showed me that I need to get active into looking for a job by using skills such as information meetings and letters.

I must say that my greatest inspiration comes from my grand father. I have always heard about his hardships through WWII. He has been a scholar through out his whole life. As the eldest son in a poor family, he has spent countless hours outside under lamp posts just to complete school work and study for university. Although, the economic reasons in his family didn’t allow him to go to university, he still continued to study legal issues in order to start his own business. Today, he is the chairperson of a company he founded and succeeded through countless hours of hard work.
