Where I Think I’ll Be In The Future? 💼🧑🏫
●
I hope to earn a scholarship to
study overseas and complete both my Master’s and PhD (wish me luck!!).
●
Hopefully get a job right where
I’m interning now. A place filled with passion, purpose, and just the right
amount of delightful chaos!
●
One day, I’d love to teach at my
university and reshape how modules are taught. (No more essay-only assignments
and standard presentations as learning should be creative, engaging, and
alive!)
●
If it’s not too much to wish,
working in the United Nations!!! Something action-oriented ~
That is all from my end dear GG friends 🥳.
I hope you enjoyed something about me and I wish to meet you all in the future.
Much love, your friend from Brunei.
