My Experiences in Counselling Courses and Basic Helping Skills Classes

HELLO EVERYBODY!!! Kopisanangan. My name is Aruna Rauna Duamit and people used to call me Unang. Currently I am studying at UNIMAS, Sarawak and take counselling course. Here, I want to share to you guys what I felt along being in this course, by attending basic helping skills’s classes from beginning until now. First and foremost, before I studied here, I did not even expect I’ve been chosen as one of the counselling’s student because to be honest, counselling was not my first choice in UPU but there is nothing to worry about, now I realize I tend to love this course day by day .

            On my first day at class, I am so curious since I did not even know who will be my lecturer and classmates. After entering the class, I just knew several people because we have been in the same college before, which include Emma, Martha and Khai. We started our basic helping class in the second week so at that time I am so excited to know who will teach me this subject. My feeling was mixed at that time, especially I am so scared if I got a strict lecturer, but thanks God, I got this cute, friendly and kind lecturer, known as Dr.Fa.

Being in her class really taught me many things, one of it was how to understand and helping others is a must in our daily life. I gained this kind of knowledge when I was in this class. I think I fell in love with this subject because on our first day of class, Dr. Fa asked us to dance before proceed to the syllabus. It quite fun even I am not really into that kind of things but why not, everybody did it and enjoyed. After finished my one week in this course, I think it is normal if I felt stressed sometimes because there were too many assignments to do not only for basic helping skill’s subject but also for other subjects  and the dateline always haunting me around because I am the one who kind of last minute’s person. In this situation, I then realized that I have to be alert and diligent so that I can overcome my stress and always having positive vibes in this course.

Last but not least, I am so happy even sometimes I was like questioning my self why I have to take this course, but that communication’s skills in me really gave such a huge impact until I got confidence to be in this course to help the needy. Cannot wait to learn more about counselling.
