Subject: Self-Introduction
Dear Professor Blackstone,
My name is A’lim, and I am a student from your Effective Communication class – T5. I have sent this introductory letter in hopes that it can familiarize you with my background. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a Diploma in Integrated Facility Management specializing in the Hospitality cluster. My interest in pursuing engineering studies began back in my secondary school days while being on a school trip to Petrosains, a science and technology museum located within the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Ever since then, my fascination for engineering grew and I tried my best to be informed on every innovation that relates to it. Despite scoring average results in polytechnic, I joined this SIT program to prove to myself that I am capable of much more and learn the essential skills to be a great engineer in the future.
I believe that one of my strengths is the willingness to learn. When a certain knowledge or skill piques my interest, I will take every opportunity to learn it regardless of its difficulty for the benefit of my own or to help others in need. On the other hand, my weakness is being absent-minded. My brain can sometimes go blank for no reason, which then leads me to lose attention and be forgetful of the things that I previously thought about. And this weakness has also affected my train of thought, where sometimes I am unable to formulate words or response during a presentation or also while conversing with someone normally.
By the end of this module, I hope to have acquired the skills necessary to produce quality writing and improve as a presenter. Currently, I find myself committing grammatical errors in my work and in some instances not being able to utilize the exact words to express my thoughts or to explain an argument, be it on paper or orally. These instances relate to my weakness which can be a hindrance to my progress in studies and I intent to discover a solution to overcome this issue in the long run.
I have yet to discover what differentiates myself from others, but I aim to define myself by the end of this Effective Communication journey with you. Thank you for reading this letter and I look forward to our next class sessions Professor!
Best regards,
A'lim Kamil.
