I am now in
the 6th semester of my studies in UM. I can’t believe that I am
right now a third year Engineering student studying my second semester today. Time
flies regardless whether if you care about it. Thinking back what I have been
doing during the last semester, I realized that I have completed the Theology
course under China Horizon. I would like to congratulate myself for being a
very hardworking and diligent student in Christ. Of course, I would like to
give thanks to God for his grace and strength all along the way I was taking
the course. It is my first certificate in Theology, considered a very
satisfactory milestone in my life. Although none of my friends and my family was
there to witness my happiness, I believe God was always there to give me a thumb-up
for this little achievement of mine. (T.T)
I didn’t
intend to complete the course in the first place, but I have the desire to get
to know the theology of Christianity. Little by little, I got very passionate
and enthusiastic to seek more on that. Eventually, I thanked God that he turned
me to be one of the graduates at the graduation service. Who am I to boast
about this achievement? There are many things I still have to learn in the path
of my faith, but I would like to tell the world how pleasant the night was to
me. I saw brothers and sisters taking pictures among themselves. (They have known
each other during the past four years in the course) But I am fresh over there.
However, holding the new certificate with my right hand, I found the
certificate somehow very heavy. Sincerely I thanked God with gratitude.
In this
semester, I am required to search for a company for my internship. I have been
trying to get contact with many companies but the poor response was disappointing.
Anyway, I thank God that I was asked for a job interview this coming Saturday.
Hopefully everything will go smoothly so that I can stop to worry about
internship. This semester my mind is getting reformed again, I am taking a subject
called “Communication for employment”. The teacher is a very responsible and
experienced woman with a knowledgeable mind and informative thoughts. She likes
to share things and experiences in the class whereby our mindset can be slowly
reformed to be more practical, critical and mature. She likes to preach a lot
in the class telling us how to carry ourselves well and how to present
ourselves confidently and effectively. I appreciate this kind of teacher very
much though some students don’t.
Some
questions were thrown by her to us, asking “What are the strengths you possess and
the experiences you had which can show your strength to the interviewers
through your CV?” and “what made you employable and irreplaceable?” Those
questions helped me to have a self-examination once again lately. Usually, I would
be very steady and satisfied with myself for the self-examination. However, I know that this “I-am-feeling-good” would lead me to tragedy at last. Therefore, I decided to destroy the stupid pride in me and to look around to the
excellent friends I have. I realized that they are much better than me; they had special experiences
and great achievements in their lives that show their outstanding nature
obviously. Who am I in the comparison with them? I am nothing but a useless
nut. Thank God that I didn't think of myself as a very good speaker who has advantages
with an alleged persuasive mouth. I need to think…I need to think for
resolution…This will not be good if it continues without positive changes and
improvement…God please help me to equip myself well…
