"LIFE IS A CHOICE" BY AMU YUKUNG 68469

       

     Hi everyone ! My name is Amu Yukung. You can call me Amu. I am 20 years old. I was born on 26 February 1998 in Lawas's Hospital. I am pure Lunbawang. My hobbies are reading, gardening and watching football match. I come from small town, Lawas Sarawak. My favorite colour is pink. As I know, I am sensitive and spoiled person. Sometimes, when I got nervous I cry easily. I can't be able to speak in front lots of people. My friends always told that I am attractive girl because  of my 

personality, but I never thought about it. I really inspired by motivation talks and hard working people. I likes to hear about culturing and positive vibes. My father is my role modal that can't be replaced by other people. He told that "Life is a choice, we choose everything either good or bad". My beloved dad never showing me that he got problem and stress, I guess that he really choose to live happily and enjoy. He also never force and disagree with my siblings goals. He believe that our choice was the best for ourselves.

      Now, I am studying counselling in University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). I never I expect that I got this course and this university too. Last two years, I really want to be a teacher in primary school. Unfortunately, I don't have my luck to enter IPG which make me feel so disappoint and sad for the rest of my life I guess, I still remember that I cry so hard and frust. I been interview twice for it and I was failed. I did not apply UNIMAS and this course in UPU Online, but my teacher did it for me for the second intake because he told me there is no more chance and choice. But I still force myself to adapt with all situation. So, I been here for ten weeks and I am really doing well because I choose to be happy and go on with my journey. I was really inspired through Basic Helping Skills which teached by Dr.Fa because for my first class she motivated and advised us of how to survive in counselling. She told us that nothing is easy if we not struggle.

         Based on my experiences in UNIMAS, I still believe that everything we did is our 
own choices. I got a lots of assignments and activities that must be done in a short time. At the same time, I have to deal with  difference kind people. I learn that Counselling is not easy as I think before. Besides, some assignments really tough and difficult for me. I am lacked of rest sometimes, I got tired and I miss my family. I really tired walking from college to my class everyday.  But, at the same times I manage to handle everything just because of mind set and the words " Life is a Choice". I able to submit my assignment on time because I choose to finished it no matter what. I choose to be friendly because I want to improved my communication skills. I try to be a flexible with a lots of people so I can handle my stress and nervous. I choose to walking for exercise and lastly I choose to be positive in order to avoid stress. So now, if people ask me how I am doing here my answer is simple "I am doing well because I choose well". Believe that everything is a choice, if you choose it in positive way so everything will be alright. Even if someday I failed again, that maybe because of my choice for not doing well or struggle for it.

      My main reason of choosing this course is I want to be a counsellor teacher in my hometown in future. I would like to help people through the therapy and theory that I have learn in Basic Helping Skills. I learn a lot how to help and deal with people in their hard time through Basic Helping Skills. I wish I can score A- for this BHS even I know my mid term exam was not too excellent.
