Core Competencies

Personal Awareness & Responsibility

I am alone in Canada, without my family and living only in other people's homes. It's almost two years
later and I've learned a lot of life skills and know how to take care of myself, while balancing my studies.
Because I understand that all the hardships I think about going through, like self-discipline, survival style,
emotional management... It's all paving the way for a better me in the future. So I have high expectations
of myself to make myself work hard to become a composite person.
But there are times when I will overindulge myself and be without discipline. I sometimes ignore the
schedule I have set and skip study time. So I need to be more disciplined and find a good way to push
myself.

Social Responsibility
I consider myself moral when it comes to social spirituality. My mother taught me the right three views
when I was very young, so I am grateful to her for that. Whether online or in reality, I can accept different
people's views. But I also stand up for the right morality when I see people bullying others with the wrong
three views.
Although I consider myself to be a very moral person, there are times when I am easily influenced by
other people's ideas. So I hope I can stick to my own ideas.

Personal & Cultural Identity

After coming to Canada, I have opened my eyes. I treat everyone of a different race or country equally. I
will learn about the habits, hobbies and religions of the people around me and respect them even if I
don't understand them. I will also share what I like and share the ethnic culture of my home country.
While respecting everyone, I sometimes have some short-lived different thoughts about someone's
country because of some bad behavior of that person. I need to change this bad habit, because everyone
in this world is equal.

Critical Thinking
When I do my homework, I can have many different ideas. After searching some information about it one
can analyze the problem from many aspects and come up with the result. I also reflect on the problem in
time after I have scored.
However, sometimes I spend a lot of time searching for information, which makes me tired. I need to
learn to get the point of the essay faster and better

Creative Thinking
I can create new and unique ideas to influence the thinking of those around me, without bothering us
with ideas for topics.
But sometimes I admit that my opinion may have some mismatch with the topic. So I also try to do some
brainstorm to come up with better ideas.

Communication
I like working on projects with other students, sharing our knowledge with each other and diversifying the
assignments after reaching a consensus. It's not just doing the project, but it's bringing the students closer
together and making us closer.
But where I need to improve is in patience. I can't be in a hurry when the other person doesn't finish the
part of the project he is responsible for in time.
