Looking back, I have never thought that I have given myself the following rates. Maybe I have changed a lot since then and this is because of what I have experienced in our first semester. It was quite challenging, but knowing the fact that there is an improvement in my personality speaks a lot about what knowledge and understanding I have gained in this course.
Answering the question before, I told in this blog that I should work more on being service-oriented and being interested in the people the most. Here, I graded myself a score of 3 with an explanation that sometimes I am lacking the will to perform actions to do something about the situation of the society. Now, reflecting every time an exercise was given to us, I realized how important it is to be service-oriented and how you need to produce something aimed towards catering the masses. It is providing information for them, and in order to do that you need to pour out every effort you can give to gather details that are critical or that will affect the lives of the people. Also, I learned that it is important to communicate with them, and know how important to is to be in their situation. Being interested in the people means that you are there to empower lives and to speak for them. You have to know their opinions and their suggestions because at the end of the day, they are the ones who will be affected the most by every activity or situation conducted or faced by the community. Overall, my grade for myself in my qualities as a media writer vastly improve from when I started being a DevCom student.
No doubt, my skills as a media writer should get an average of 1.
Honestly, I have improved a lot in terms of being a media writer as I did the exercises of this course. I have been trained to gather, organize, clarify and validate information through coordinating with project heads and officials that implemented different activities. Knowing the purpose and objectives of an article will help a media writer to determine how he/she will be able to arrange information using the tips in writing clearly and effectively. I learned that if you really allow yourself to go out of the box or out of the boundaries of the skills you have before, you will discover that there’s much room to improve on. Now, I continue to seek improvements of this skills as I take on the next DevCom courses.
This entry might mark as the end of me being a student of DEVC 11 but I am so glad and honored to share this experience with you. This has been my journey, and I hope everyone can also learn from this. Thank you!
