7. My Experiences…
My experiences with CI-PSU have been so worthwhile and valuable. Before I working with CI-PSU, I had no work experiences, and as a newbie I don’t know how to deal with people at a workplace. But after a term “work training”, I learned something really useful. The volunteering work does not only taught me how to act well at a workplace but also taught me how to become a good worker, as an individual to communicated in the group; as an individual to think the task critically; as an individual integrating into the community.
There are a lot of people in the society do not care about the social issues at all, I was one of them but Being involved in the community and do volunteering works made me change – I started get interests on community events and became more enthusiastic helping with people in the community. Those experiences also help me learn the diversity cultures and strengthen my comprehensive abilities both in my study filed and workplaces.
I would also like to thank to this course that gives me the opportunity to work and study at the same time. The knowledge that I learned were real life experiences and they help me developed the overall performances which also prepare for the job hunting in the future when I graduated. O(￣▽￣)O
