However, I would always question the regulatory concerns of funding usage (GELO 5: Awareness), as there are numerous voices in the society that argue that the resources of the government are not employed effectively. I would communicate my views to my mentors about what was going on in society in order to enhance the regulatory systems (GELO 4: Expression).

In this internship, my job was incredibly diverse and challenging. I needed to be able to handle numerous jobs at once and adapt to changes. I was also required to pay attention to every detail and finish assignments in a timely manner. As a result, I have improved and developed various soft and hard skills. But, more crucially, I had a solid understanding of the current government's work and the reasons behind it, as well as the obstacles in putting policies into effect (GELO 5: Awareness). I used to be quite critical of existing policy, and I seldom considered the concerns of many stakeholders, instead viewing the policy from the standpoint of a common person with inadequate knowledge of the subject. In addition, I learnt about the role of Administrative Officers in the government structure, their daily tasks, and the attributes required of Administrative Officers.

d of Administrative Officers.

These were really valuable experiences that could not be obtained anywhere else. The internship provided me with a solid understanding of government work while also inspiring me to pursue a career in this field as I had recognized how policy could greatly impact society. If I could participate in policy making, I would use what I have learned and what I see in society to better develop policies that benefit the majority of society while also limiting the impact on certain groups.

Besides, as I have learnt the difficulties of some of the people in our society, I engage in various volunteer works with the intention to help as much as I can (GELO 5: Awareness).

I unintentionally got the chance to work with a mainland student. I was first hesitant to communicate with the student and wanted to switch places with another student. As there was no one able to exchange with me, thus, I started the project preparation with the mainland student. She actively spoke her opinion that she might occasionally dominate the conversation. Others in the group who were local students began to find her obnoxious and requested me to stop her. I tried to mediate disputes among the group members, but it was clear that I supported the locals. I advised the student to accept other people's perspectives and gave them a chance to voice their own. After listening, the student's mood abruptly changed, and she yelled at me, saying that our group had abandoned her. At the moment, I feel resigned and thought she was being really impolite, exactly as social media had claimed. She left the group the next day, which really startled me. I questioned whether I had done something wrong.

I am aware that most individuals will conceal their disdain of certain groups in their hearts rather than admitting it. Nevertheless, I'll face my prejudice and fault as what they were in the past. Based on my personal beliefs and experiences, when we make a mistake, we should have the courage to own up to it so that we may learn from it and go on. I used to conduct group projects with some mainlanders, and they make me feel adversely about them. I, thus, avoided any interactions with them. I didn't know them well since there was a lack of communication and interactions. Therefore, in the future I will strive to embrace and comprehend individuals with diverse backgrounds so as to prevent something similar from happening again. Although it could be tough for me to modify some of my ingrained beliefs, I will seize the chance to interact with more people to learn more about other cultures and to better understand them, which will help me to confront and eradicate my irrational beliefs. Additionally, I am conscious of how our thoughts have been impacted by social media and the information all around us (GELO 5: Awareness). There are numerous reports on the horrible actions of individuals from the Chinese mainland, labeling them as ignorant, impolite, competitive for resources, and other bad descriptors, in our social media and newspapers from a few years ago or even from today. Under the influence of the media, I got a negative impression of people from the mainland of China. To prevent being affected seriously, I will thus refrain from watching material that is highly prejudiced and read more newspapers from other viewpoints to critically assess the content. Moreover, languages might potentially hurt other people, therefore I will think twice before I speak. Last but not least, as a psychology student, I should prepare myself to be less prejudiced since I've learned several theories that explain social phenomena. I shall put what I've learned to practice by reviewing and being aware of my own thoughts and behaviors.

During my Industrial Attachment, I worked at a center that offered tutoring to students with special needs. Administrative tasks included contacting tutors to handle cases and preparing instructional materials. Since then, my communication skills have greatly improved as I have had to clearly convey the case details to the tutors as well as encourage them to handle cases and manage their conflicts with groupmates (GILO: Problem Solving Skills, GILO 4a. Oral Communication Skills, and GILO 5: Social Interaction Skills). The persuasion techniques I learned in the Social Psychology course came in handy in the situations (GELO 2: Application).

The most important experience was being able to lead teaching sessions for SEN students, which allowed me to put what I had learned in the lectures into practice (GELO 2: Application). I was able to interact closely with the SEN students and I was able to learn a lot about their learning challenges and the features of specific types of special needs (GELO 1: Knowledge). I learned that I had messed up some of the SEN features, but thankfully, I was able to alter the teaching techniques and get great outcomes under the supervision of the Educational Psychologist (GELO 3: Judgements).

The Educational Psychologist had shown me several techniques for coping with the difficulties that SEN children experienced. Furthermore, I recall her reminding me that we should not only focus on the child, but also strive to care for their stressed-out parents. She reminded me that as helpful professionals, we should be aware that our actions may have a huge impact on our clients, so if we could somehow assist, we should offer. Her words had given me pause to think whether I understood the needs of the impacted family and how I might better assist them.
