Reflection - Self Development Classes

(Akif Irfan 3K2)

The self development classes for this semester is very meaningful for me. The
classes has brought a lot of remarkable and significant changes in my life as a
student and as a human being myself. Sir Hakimie, the self development class
teacher has changed my life by sharing his experiences throughout his life. In the self
development classes, a lot of activities has made an impact on me. These activities is
seen as useless but it is actually very meaningful and has given me new knowledge
such as respecting people and a lot of others.

Some of the interesting activities are the ‘two minutes pitching’ that is held
every class. It requires us to go to the front of the class and share a bit of our
interesting life experiences that could give some lesson and new knowledge to
others for two minutes. Based on the pitches of my classmates, I am now very
interested to participate in activities in a variety of field. This activity also increases
my confidence level when I am selected to pitch. I am now very confident when
speaking in front of people and I really like to talk nowadays.

Other than that, another activity in the self development class that is also very
meaningful to me is doing an interview on my friends. I now know more about my
friends and understand them more deeply. I also know their passion and I maybe can
help them to dive in and explore more on their interests. This activity has increased
the relationship between my classmates and I. Now, we are more closer than ever
and we even share our problems with one another.

Next, I really am fascinated with the session where we discussed on the latest
issue in this world. We shared on a lot of stories from the whole world that is
currently trending. This activity has helped me to care about the things happening
around the world that majority of people is not paying attention to. Now, I realize
how important it is to pay attention to the issues in this world around is no matter
near or far.

I have some suggestions on how to improve the self development classes in the
future. We can have inter-classes where more than one class have a session with Sir
Hakimie. This can increase the relationship between students from different classes
as they can interact and know each other even more through this class. Other than
that, more projects can be assigned and even better, group projects. This can make
students more interested and consequently can improve the students skills
unconsciously.

I am very thankful to Sir Hakimie and my classmates as they have helped me to

improve myself to be a better person. I hope the self development classes in the
future can bring improvement to every individual and change my life to a better
future from a lot of aspects such as discipline, time management and a lot of other
life qualities that we should possess.
