I finally reached the last term of my degree. I have learned so much of new things starting and gain a lot of experiences, which helps me to prepare myself to face the real world. It is not just about the class lessons, but degree helps me a lot to improve my soft skills. I am so grateful for this journey even though there are a lot of ups and downs, and the moment where I want to give up but thanks god, I can pass it through. But there are still some things that I cannot face until now, one of them are adaptability and work under pressure.
Since I was little, I am a very shy person and rarely communicate with other people. I am also a person who only hangs out with the closest people since it is difficult for me to adapt with a new environment. I felt very awkward meeting and getting to know new people. I know it all because I just playing safe and stay in my comfort zone. But I realized that adaptability is really needed when I start working in the future. While working, teammates, partners, clients and even bosses may keep changing. Each person will bring a different atmosphere, environment and the situation will also keep changing. Sometimes we can relax for a moment and sometimes we have to work in rush.
Moreover, I am also still cannot be able to work under pressure. I feel like I cannot provide the best work if I need to do it under a pressure. I am the kind of person who has to work focused without any interference from other people. The more time I have, I feel like I can give my best for the result. If I have to work under pressure, my performance will decrease because I will over think. Thinking of all the possibilities that will happen in the future.
But I realize that having this kind of character will actually bring bad effects for me and make me afraid to try new things in the future. In order to overcome this problem I start to take part in many workshop classes, volunteer for events and do internship. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, event is still not allowed to hold on a large scale. However, there are several workshops are able to participate for small groups of people. Last month, I took a workshop class to make tie-dye and this workshop consists of 5 people. Here I learn to communicate with new people, adapt to new environments and learn new things. Internship will also help me to prepare myself before starting to work. Here I will be given assignments and must finish it according to the deadline. I need to be responsible towards my work because I cannot make any mistakes. I can learn myself to work under pressure here.
