1. Thinking Skills

2. Adaptability

3. Enterprising Skills

For PSYCHIC Got Talent Program, I was a participant that joined to compete with other people and to share my talent. As a participant, we were asked to unleash our potential and show our individual creative ability to the world. The participants can show any kind of creativity from different categories and aspects. For example, I submitted my drawing & painting videos as my submission in this competition.

I participated in the competition for the Psychic Got Talent program that was conducted online through various social media platforms such as Instagram, Youtube, Google Meet, etc.

          The first graduate attributes that I focused on is thinking skills. Why is it thinking skills? It is because as a participant, I have to define and analyze suitable content that I put in my video. I was able to expand my ideas and creativity by thinking critically to produce great outcomes. Moreover, adaptability skills also one of the graduate attributes that are emphasized on. While participating in the program, I gained the potential to improve a lot of aspects in me. These had strengthened my ability to work under pressure to make sure I can produce my outcome on time. Furthermore, this program also helped me to develop enterprising skills where I succeed in identifying the opportunities to boost up my talent. As a participant, I am willing to take any risks while competing in the competition. 

PSYCHIC Got Talent Program has had a significant positive effect on me in a variety of ways, the most important of which is that it has enabled me to improve my graduate attributes. It helped me enrich the thinking skills especially since I have to create content of my drawing uniquely. This also benefits me in producing original artwork with any ideas that come up in my mind. 

          One of the challenges that I had to face during the time to create my drawing was time. I was so busy during the week of the submission with assignments and other programs. It tests my adaptability because I needed to make sure I finished the painting before the deadline. Thus, I overcame the issue by organizing my time throughout the week and used my time by doing the important tasks first. In the end, I managed to submit it on time.

          To sum up, I would say that I am a somewhat creative person because I can contribute my talent to the program.  It helped me to be confident about what I can do as myself.
