Self Reflection
Participating in this showcase was an awe-inspiring event for me. This was the first event I ever attended during my studies at UTM. I am amazed at how large of a venue Dewan Tunku Canselor is, I used to study at a boarding school in a remote village for my High School so there is a huge difference in scale in the amount of building size and logistics of it all. Thousands of chairs, cooling, and audio projector systems.
The event Huawei brought showcases the advancements and programs they offer, I thought about how enticing it is to be a 4th-year student at that time because of the job offers and opportunities they made specifically for 4th-year students. The rest of us still enjoy our time there as there are games and movies they made that entertain us, and there is merchandise they give to each participant to bring home and remember the event.
