Journey

Assalamualaikum and hello again dear readers! It’s me, Siti Salwanizah (65225).  As you all know, it has been a month and a half I think since all of us came to UNIMAS to continue our studies. Well, it has been hectic throughout those weeks and in week 8, we will have our mid-semester exam. Huh, tiring. Well, that’s normal as a university student. We cannot just down and relax like what we normally do when we were in primary and secondary school. That’s reality hahaha.

Me....

            But forget about that. Let me tell you about what I’ve gained in Basic Helping Skill class until now. I’ve learned about what is the role of a helper and helpee. I’ve learned about what are the skills that a helper should have when doing a helping session such as minimal response, restate, paraphrase and many more. I have also learned what are the Do’s and Don’t when conducting a helping session. In fact, most of the Don’t, I realize I’ve done it many times already or should I say, always… Oh my god! How could I’ve been so wrong? Hahahaha. Alhamdulillah, know that I know about it, I won’t do the same mistake again.. I hope!

            Oh, I also learn a few theories from this class. You know, like Sigmund Freud theories, and person-centered theory. I also learn the theories from my other classes. So, yes. I hope I won’t get it all mixed together Haha.

            For the assignments, I guess all of it is manageable.. In other words, it can be done. If I’m not wrong, there are 4 assignments. 2 individual assignments and the other 2 are group assignments. I’ve done my first assignment and have submitted it. It’s not that hard and I have fun doing it. All the assignments that I’ve done, including my assignments from other subjects, have taught me how important the format is and also the references… Some are to time-consuming and the others aren’t. Fiuh, nerve wrecking catching the deadline…

            Well, that somewhat sums up to all that I’ve been through since day 1. Thanks for reading this. See ya!
