Since I feel like I sprinted through this first term, I wanted to take some time to reflect on my progress.
- I started DPS to gain experience by putting myself outside of the uni work and potentially building connections. I believed I was lacking in these, and thus thought facing these fears would help me grow.
- I felt I was behind — thought that I “needed” to do DPS to gain experience (which reflecting now I’m not sure if that was the right mindset) I was anxious about the future and graduating, and didn’t know what I wanted to do with my pathway –> DPS would give me some time to deeply think about that.
- “Will I regret if I don’t get this placement?”
I feel this first step was very courageous of me, and I’m glad I dared to do so. I think this made the term even more memorable. In the next term, I wish to expand my capability in different areas: I want to focus on graphic design and take on more graphics-related tasks, taking a step further. I want to do a personal project that has nothing to do with DPS or the placement. I want to meet more new people.
But all in all, I’m extremely glad to say that I’m proud of myself.
