MY TP Refrection.
My three years in poly life have been great. These three years has been a great impact on my life. I got to know a wider group of people who I did not realize they exist. Everyone though Chemical engineering was more on chemistry. I too, came into this course because of chemistry. I once regretted coming into this course because most of the things we learn we engineering stuff but as times goes by, these subjects had greatly interest me especially my final year major project. Together with my friends in poly, these three years has been fruitful to me.
The most best experience i had was during my attachment/major year project, I was attached to University of Adelaide. My supervisor was an associate professor of the school and I had difficulties communicate with him because this is the first time I spoke to a person who is high ranking. However I have overcome it by getting to know him. Another problem I faced was my final year project. As it is a research project and I was new topic, I had very limited information on the project. I need to study the topic from scratch and it seems like study another field. I was working on Rheology of oil in water emulsion with added particles.
Also, during my attachment, it was my first time treveling for 16 weeks overseas with freinds and without any family or relatives. It was indeed a new experinces staying in an apartment with five other friends as even if i were to study overseas, it is an rare oppunity to be together with people i know. I also get to make new friends from post guraduate who are studying there and get to know more about their experiences from studying and staying overseas for so long. I also get to know more about the requirement to get a PhD and a masters.
In poly, i get to know an even wider ranges of people. From people who will do anything to get good grades to people who stress their way to get good grades. During secondary life, i'm too used to being with people who care, are concern and are truthful to me. As the result, i become less exposed to the world. Hence, i realise that in this world, there are not many people who are kind, helpful and are truthful out there for us. We have to gain their trust first. Since poly is unlike secondary school, the bonding within class are less too. Hence, thats what i feel that is lacking in poly...
However, i had also made friends who i will want to befriend as long as possible. Friends also taught me that being happy, is a blessing. People give up happiness for many resons too but we cannot regrate and carry on in life because we have legs to move forward. In this three years, i've never regrate coming into TP becuase i had gain the most experieces in my life and i will use it wisely.
In life, what past is past, even thouth the past does affect the furture, we still have tomove forward and we can shape our furture a better one because stopping will now help much. ^_^
