Failure Resume
Failure Resume
A resume is normally a document that is used to “show off” your best qualities. When we were tasked with creating a resume that does exactly the opposite, I experienced a bit of cognitive dissonance as it forced me to recall some memories that I wish to forget. When I started to jot down some of my past failures, I noticed that most of my failures weren’t really failures at all. Many of them were simple mistakes that people make all the time. From missing an open shot to forgetting my script for a presentation, these moments that I dubbed as “failures” were more of an embarrassing moment than a failure. It was very interesting to dive deep into moments that one normally wishes to forget, and by doing so, I've found not only enjoyment but also a little bit of my identity.
Chindogu (IRT) Project
Chindogu (IRT) Project
For our first Capstone Research mini project, we've dove into the linguistics of the Chindogu, in which our group decided to delve into the topic of the rocking bathtub, also known as, the oscillating bathtub. While the research broadened our knowledge of the concept of hydrotherapy, this assignment introduced us to the process of research in addition to enhancing our presentation skills. With positive constructive feedback from both our teacher and our peers, we found several areas that could use some improvement which helps us for future presentations.
MOTH Story Presentation/Summary
Who would ever know that in 10 years, I would be recalling the moment when I let my curiosity take control and discovered that I was allergic to bees? In this presentation, we were tasked with telling a story of our choosing with the idea of practicing our oral presentation skills. Coming into this, I felt nervous and believed that I couldn't tell a 5-minute story to a room full of students. Despite being a little "awkward" at first, as the story progressed and the crowd laughed at some of my bad jokes, telling my story started to feel natural. This feeling carried me for the entirety of the presentation and before I knew it, I was approaching the 5 minute time limit. Walking back to my seat feeling relieved, I started to realize that presenting is not too bad. Sure it can be nerve-racking at first, but in the end, I learned that presenting is just like having a standard 1 on 1 conversation and there's nothing to be worried about.
