Reflection - SAM's life activities

The Meaningful and Amazing Journey throughout South Australian Matriculation (SAM)

Description

As we now that we need to keep move forward in our life to keep us going and strive for the best. When I had my first step into SAM, I knew it would be interesting. There was an introduction about Edmodo and Turnitin from my beloved teachers on our first day. I was obviously did not know about these exists! These technologies exist for quite some time and made me wonder why I did not know it earlier. The first day of SAM was definitely interesting as I get to know the ease of learning via technologies.

Interpret

As times flies, there are several presentations that I did that and some requires presenting in front of my whole classmates and some without classmates. At first, I was indeed nervous and was overthinking about the impression that I will make in front of my classmates. Then I joined the toastmaster workshop that Taylor’s College provided which indeed helped me a lot. I was relaxed and confident about my upcoming presentation that I developed confidence in myself in presenting in front of a crowd.

Evaluate

I am now able to present in front of a crowd with the proper presentation skills. I am also confident with my ability to present that kept me to have the momentum to present instead being a timid mouse. I am now able to come out of my shell for all these years. Furthermore, the introduction of technologies in teaching able to increase my understanding and ability to cope with studies compared to traditional teaching.

I had learnt that I am able to solve my problems in an effective way and had better cognitive skills compared to last year. English as Secondary Language had definitely improved my cognitive skills during presentation when my friends asked questions related to my presentation which made me able to think fast and reply them with the appropriate answers.

Plan

Throughout this delightful year, I learnt that exposure to new things is able to provide advantages and not only disadvantages, the exposure in SAM gave me new experiences in my life that I will use it in my university years that is able to benefit me. On top of that, the presentation skills I learnt will be an advantage for me to apply for job in the future as employer’s nowadays concern about the communication skills and not only academic performance.
