DIEP REFLECTION 2

DIEP  stands for describe, interpret, evaluate and plan.

In this post, I'm going to DIEP my goal in life, particularly in the near future.

My goal as i'm in college is to have a better time management. I know that i cannot balance my social life as well as my academic. As a student, i believe time management is a vital thing especially that i have only one and a half year to accomplish my a levels in taylor's. Thus, i know i have to do something in order to achieve such a goal in my near future.

There were times when i think i cannot cope up with what my lecturers had been teaching. when the fact that my classmates can catch up faster than me makes me even more miserable. hence, i looked up for the causes and reasons behind such circumstances that transpired towards me.

I found out that i was and still am a procrastinator. procrastination towards my homework and assignments are a major and the base of this problem. Not only that, i am very unorganised and always tend to delay my time. i never realised the importance of time in my life. Thank God, someone just told me this recently that time is the most precious thing that everyone has. it all just depends on how you use your time.

Therefore, in order to get rid of such problem, i decided to make a timetable for my everyday routine. For example, i study for few hours and i spend some time for socialising too, such as engaging myself into several clubs that are available in the college. In this way, i can reduce my procrastination to delay my workload. i believe that as time continue to pass, more and more workload will be given. In a nutshell, i must strive hard to eliminate such demeanour in me. Here's a quote that motivates me to get rid of my procrastination.

SWOT


My strength is i am a very honest person. Regardless of hurting others feeling by my frankness, i will still tell the truth. i think in this way i am not considered as those 'fake faces' by people. not only that, i take this as a strength because i eventually motivate other to do something and work hard for it. so, i will consider this is my greatest strength and its my personality, my style.

My weakness is i cuss a lot. whenever something bad or even good thing i will still curse. i know that its not the right thing to curse at things or people. but i just find its hard to change my personality. it will take time in order to get rid of them. i wish i could get rid of this real weakness real fast. 

opportunities, everyone has opportunities. as for my case, i had this opportunity to receive a scholarship given by government to continue my studies in a level. i am very grateful that i can get this scholarship as there are many other applicants that applied for this. this is one of the opportunities in my life that can make a huge change in my whole life. so i am really grateful for that.

well, for threats, obviously, as a scholarship student i have to compete with a lot of other applicants that apply for it. as what i have mentioned, this is a bug threat to me. i have to make sure that i am above the average and have a better results than others. hence, this is a massive threat in my life. so yeah. thanks for reading. have a nice day.

MY LEARNING STYLE

What's Your Learning Style? The Results

Your Scores:
  • Auditory: 45%
  • Visual: 20%
  • Tactile: 35%
You are an Auditory learner! Check out the information below, or view all of the learning styles.

Auditory

If you are an auditory learner, you learn by hearing and listening. You understand and remember things you have heard. You store information by the way it sounds, and you have an easier time understanding spoken instructions than written ones. You often learn by reading out loud because you have to hear it or speak it in order to know it.
As an auditory learner, you probably hum or talk to yourself or others if you become bored. People may think you are not paying attention, even though you may be hearing and understanding everything being said.
Here are some things that auditory learners like you can do to learn better.
  • Sit where you can hear.
  • Have your hearing checked on a regular basis.
  • Use flashcards to learn new words; read them out loud.
  • Read stories, assignments, or directions out loud.
  • Record yourself spelling words and then listen to the recording.
  • Have test questions read to you out loud.
  • Study new material by reading it out loud.
Remember that you need to hear things, not just see things, in order to learn well.

BIODATA

My name is Brenda Lee Yik Li, I'm from Sabah, Malaysia. Originated from Kota Kinabalu City. I received a scholarship named Yayasan Sabah and further my studies in here Taylor's College. My hobby is to read materials about general knowledge.I have a vast knowledge of general knowledge. I used to like history class because it was very interesting and fun. As I don't have time currently, I don't really read history now. Discovery channel is my favourite TV channel. So many things in this world can be discovered and its amazing about how this world evolved into a new revolution.

Apart from that, a little information about my family. I have both my parents who still live in Sabah and an elder sister who is currently studying medical in Malaysia. I love hanging around my family because the warmth of my family cannot be replaced into another thing and its priceless. Who doesn't love their family right?

Furthermore, I love being around people who cheer me up and bring positive impact into my life. Positive or known as optimistic thinking can eventually bring the good things into our life. This is one of the information i have learnt from discovery channel. It is known as law of attraction which was introduced by a philosopher back in the 1910s. Its just so amazing about life and therefore i live my everyday life into the fullest. Thank you for reading and have a nice day. :)

AMBIVERT
Based on your responses, you’re an ambivert. That means you fall smack in the middle of the introvert-extrovert spectrum. In many ways, ambiverts have the best of both worlds, able to tap into the strengths of both introverts and extroverts as needed. See below for information on introverts and extroverts; you’ll likely see part of yourself in both.










GOAL IN MY LIFE



“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it”. As the saying goes by William A. Ward. I dream of being a dentist in the future. Therefore, in order to achieve that, i must study hard in my a levels and strive for a good result.
As a student, my dream of becoming a dentist started in high school. During high school I was asked numerous times why I wanted to become a dentist. During this time, I didn’t have much to say that would defend my “dream”.  Because of this, people often brushed off my poorly developed answer and categorized me with every other high schooler with similar dreams of becoming a doctor/lawyer.
Hence, I know I should do better in school as in aiming straight As in my exam. Maintaining a consistent results. In order to do that, I should make myself a timetable for studying and a very consistent revision of what I have learnt today in class. Not only that, i should finish all the schoolwork that are given by my teachers in time. Moreover, i should study beforehand of what my teacher is going to teach. As long as i keep these ways in my life, i can definitely achieve what i have dreamt to become. A dentist. 
I plan to go for IMU in Bukit Jalil dental school. Therefore, i know what i want in my life. This is my life's main goal and I shall try my best to achieve that. God bless :)
 Dreams 
Another saying which says: “Hold fast to dreams, for without them we are like birds with broken wings”.
