STICK ON YOUR DREAMS

Hello everyone. My name is SallyTchee Zhin Hui (67625). I am taking a degree in counseling. Why did I choose this course? Let me tell you my reason. I used to have an unhappy childhood. My mother chose to abandon this family when I was 11 years old. Although I was so depressed in that bad days, because my friends and fathers have always given me a lot of encouragement and love, I have gradually turned from a very sensitive and melancholic person into a cheerful and optimistic person. I want to help those who are still living in pain. That's why I choose to study counseling. I learn to show empathy because I’ve been through the same weakness. When I knew that I had to get this course, I was really happy and grateful for the opportunity God had given me. I hope that I can continue to learn and progress in these four years and become a qualified counselor.

Next, I want to share my feeling when attending first class Basic helping skills (KMC1083). I have been to this class on 20 September 2018. I feel very excited to know more about basic helping skills because before that I never heard of.  When I first time heard this course name, I thought this subject is about some basic medical knowledge. In fact, this is the subject that teaches about some techniques in counseling. I am very interested in this course. Every time Dr. Fa lectures, I can always learn a lot of things about counseling. I also like to listen to Dr. Fa to share her life story, especially her coaching experience because I can learn many things about it.

Lastly, I am grateful to have my father who always by my side. He always supporting and believing in me. When everyone tells me that after I finished my degree in counseling, it is difficult for me to find a job. Everyone advised me to consider other courses such as human resources, accountants and so on. But only my father fully supports me. He respects my choice and tells me: "Don't influence your decision because of other people's opinions. Just stick your dream and determine that you’re going to make them true. Dad knows that it is what you like to do. One day you will become the person you want to be. I will always support you.” Dad’s encouragement and support make me become braver. I hope that I can become a counselor who can help others.
