Beginning service

I have recently began Computer Skills with Hougang Center: A service that aims to teach people with mental disabilities computer skills that can be used to help support careers and reintegrate them back into society.

As of right now we have interviewed the center organisers to determine which classes are suitable for the members at the center and we are preparing presentations for the classes. The main aspects of learning that this service will cover is LO 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 for the following reasons. LO 1 is covered as speaking in front of a lot of people is something I don’t struggle with however teaching in front of a lot of people is where I struggle and thus would like to improve on that. The root cause of which presumably lies in my difficulty with communicating in a concise and audible method. LO 2 is covered because of that too as I would be stepping outside my comfort zone to teach in front of people who have difficulty understanding and it’ll show my growth through the quality of my presentations at the start and end of the service. LO 4 is covered due to the fact that service entails constant and weekly commitment to the activity. As a service, LO 5 and LO 6 is fulfilled by virtue

Visualizing myself in the future

I spent a while attempting to visualize myself 19 years in the future. There was difficulty as I currently do not know my future plans outside of what I am planning on following in university. Thus the overall emotions felt during this exercise was confusion or otherwise neutral emotions. I had trouble mainly because attempting to predict yourself in the future is wildly inaccurate as the current thought processes would not stay consistent. This also doesn’t factor in current events that might change the course of my future.
