One of the graduate attributes that have in this program is communication skill which is its require us to interact with each other. Secondly, thinking skill which requires us to think together how to plan the activities so it go smoothly. Next, as for the scholarship, this program gives us many insight on mental health. Working under a leader, it taught me my responsibility to help the leader preparing certain tasks methodically. Also, just like many program, one of the benefits in joining a program is it helps you to adapt in new environments by dealing with a lot of people. It also helps to improve global citizen as this program educates us in a lot of things like how not to take lightly of mental health problem. While for the enterprising skills, it taught us to develop enterprising skill by making people curious to join this program.

Position/Role in the activities

I was given the chance to become as one of the Therapy Room's committee member. My role includes organising stuff for the therapy room, and when visitors come to see what is offered inside the Therapy Room, I will have to explain how Therapy Room helps people to relax themselves when they are feeling stress from whatever they've been going through.

Mini Report

First of all, the reason why I joined the therapy room because my friend invited me to join the committee group. However, it was not the only reason because I’m genuinely interested to participate in the program and so I became a committee under the Therapy Room. As for the graduate attributes, I found that this program naturally help me to improve my communication skill because as a committee I have to interact with a lot of people as well as need to do a lot of preparations. Besides, in order to make this program successful, it gets me and my teammates to think hard and thus, it improves my thinking skill. As for the activity, just like how it sounds, ‘Therapy Room’ is a big room that offers a lot of things such as mini games, comfy mat and much more for the visitors to try. Every stuff in the room help them to feel relaxed and our main goal is to help them release their stress by offering fun things to try.

Self-reflection

In my opinion, I’m glad I join this program because I was able to learn a lot of thing such as leadership and teamworking skill. For example, the leader of the Therapy Room group taught me how to handle a program effectively and successfully. Other than that, it helps to improve my inner self. I feel like I’m becoming more motivated than before after joining the program. As for the challenges, it was not too much but the only time we have a trouble is when the visitors was having too much fun that they seem like they didn’t want to leave the room after the time is up. Apparently, the 10-15 minutes wasn’t enough for them as they wanted to stay longer. We managed to overcome it as despite they wanted to stay longer, they understood that the payment was fair enough with the time given. Nevertheless, this program was really fun to me.
