ESSAY TEST

Answer the following as a reflection/reaction to the Activity 1 on Getting to Know You.

1 In what ways did you benefit from the self-introduction?

In my perspective, self-introduction is the best way to express and introduce who we
really are and what are our personalities. I benefits in our activity about self-introduction, in a
way that I had an opportunity to introduce a little background about myself to my professor
and classmates, I also had an opportunity to realize some personalities I had that I never knew
about. Self-introduction helps me to express and share my personal experiences in life to my
classmates, it also helps me to share my academic achievements to them and I also share
some personalities I have in school, home and when I’m with my friends. Self-introduction
boost and enrich my communication, engagement, trust and productivity, because it helps me
to express who I really am and it will help them to understand me really well. In conclusion
to this it didn’t just help my classmates and my professor to understand and know a little
background about myself but also it helps me to know more about myself and to be more
confident.

2 What did you enjoy and dislike in your self introduction? Why?
I really do like introducing myself and sharing some of my experience and
personalities because it really helps me to be myself and helps me to boost my confidence. I
enjoy sharing my academic achievements because it helps me to show them that I am not
only a display in social media but also good in academic. I enjoy sharing my personal
experiences, my journey in school and with my family because I want to interest them with
my amazing story and backgrounds. I also enjoy sharing details about my personalities
because I want to impress people about my great personalities and I want to show them that I
am friendly, approachable and open person that they can reach if they want friend or a person
to open up their problems. The thing that I dislike about the self-introduction is I am afraid
that they might judge me or they might misunderstood whatever will I say. I hate the feeling
that they might not like me and personality but I understood that not everyone will like us.

3 What will you improve in your presentation(oral or written)? Why?

In my own opinion, I think I will improve my oral presentation more, it needs a lot of
improvement and practice. My written presentation is better than my oral presentation
because in written presentation, I can easily correct my mistakes unlike in oral whatever I say
should be perfect. In written I can collect my thoughts and ideas and sum it all up while in
oral I should memorize all what will I say and it must be clear for the audience. In conclusion
to this I need to improve my oral presentation because I am not fluent enough in talking,
sometimes I stutter and I need to improve my vocabulary so my sentence and explanation are
more convincing and improvise. Sometimes I am scared talking in oral that I forgot what will
I tell next. But I practice talking in front and I always prepare myself whenever I have
presentation so I can be more look ready and professional.
4 What will you suggest to enhance this activity?
For me I will suggest to enhance the number and engagement of activities more, I
think we need more activities that will help us to know more each other well so that in future
as we see each other we know some background and details of our classmates more. I think
we need a lot of activities that is engaging and will enjoy us will we are in quarantine because
who knows if one of my classmates are suffering depression and need something to do to kill
their time. I also suggest to give challenges and activities that suits the generation now and an
activity that is relevance for the youths today that, that is not only will enjoy them but also
will help them academically and also will help them to know more about each other, boost
confidence and have more friends while they were in class.
5 Why the activity is important for the student socialization?
In my own perspective, activity is really important for the student socialization
because we are social beings, and interacting with people is in our nature. But it also brings
us benefits on a mental and physical level. As human beings, we dream, learn, grow, and
work as part of society. The society that we’re born into and the societies that we navigate
throughout our lives shape our personal identities. And having activity will help us build
communication, trust, teamwork, engagement and productivity. Also activity will build
relationship with student and one another, it will help them to be close with each other and
make conversation that will team them up. In conclusion to this activity is a way in building
trust, relationship and communication that will help them to socialize not only for academics
but also in organization and for a better world.
