Reflection on Personal Development 1

To be honest, before attending MPU classes, I felt that MPU classes for sure are wasting my time and boring...

However, my mind changed right after the second class. I started to look forward to the next and following classes. During that time, our teacher, Mr Irwan thought us how to create our blog and our first assignment was to write on our  personal  background, achievements, ambition and university of choice. I was excited because  eventually I created my own blog  since thinking for a long time! And
I really made effort in designing it and I was satisfied with the design of my blog.

Then, we learned Taylor's Graduate Capabilities which increased my passion in studies because from that I only knew how the knowledge and skills from the subjects that we learned in A Levels help us to succeed in highly competitive and challenging world.

The reason that I like MPU classes is also because I got to discover my personality type and explore my learning style through the Myers-Briggs/ Jung Test and VAK Learning Style Test. To me, the result of the MBTI test was the most accurate among all the test that I did before. And I felt that the description was all about me and it really suited me 99%. For the VAK test, I tried to use the learning methods suggested and it worked! I am glad to say that my learning effect was being reinforced and maximized.

MPU classes helped to finalize my career option because the career relevant traits and possible career path matched with my mind. I was really happy because finally I knew what job suited me the most and I think I would not regret for choosing it in future.

From the assignment given "Reflection", I only found out that actually reflection was indeed important in our life. The DIEP method helped us to interpret our action and evaluate what we had learned from the past experience and plan how this learning would be applied in future.

I learned how to create my own Powtoon and Prezi on how to present my S.W.O.T and goals in fun and interactive way. It helped me to enhance my computer skills and presentation skills.

The active plan that I made also enable me to have a clear mind on what should I do and how should I do in order to enter my university of choice.

To me, in MPU classes not only learning occurred
but also discovering personality
and planning for future!!!

This is a movie about my S.W.O.T in entering university of choice. S.W.O.T analysis aims to analyze my personal development prospects and reveal my competitive advantages. It also prepares myself for problems and drafting out plans before problems arise.
