About Me

My earliest memory of school is of the information evening held before I had started prep. It was around night time, but the sky was still bright. I was holding my parents' hands when I ran into a boy whose favourite colours were pink and yellow. I found this pretty funny and so I started rolling around on the floor laughing.

I learn best when/by.... Because I was brought up that way, I actually find it easier to learn the usual way, where the teacher explains something, gives examples and then gives us exercises and/ or homework to have a recap. I put emphasis on gives examples because, depending on the subject, I need examples to fully understand the lesson.

 
My worst trait is
probably... sometimes having a very loud and squeaky voice. SOMETIMES. Well, my voice is really high already, but usually, in class, I am really quiet, so no one really notices it. However in recess/ lunch, I can get very loud. Or maybe my worst trait is biting my nails? It's an extremely bad habit that I am trying to get rid of now. I've lasted  2 weeks now :)


My best trait is most likely that I am determined and work hard to achieve my goals. I hardly ever give up on things, which, I think, is an important skill in life.


I often wonder when the world is going to wake up and do something about poverty, war and pollution happening right now!!!.


The hardest thing I've ever done was
probably going to my aunty's funeral and trying not to cry. I'm a really emotional person, so crying comes easily to me (even though my of the time I hate it). I remember when her body was about to be cremated, I was struggling not to cry (and I was succeeding!!!). Suddenly, I saw some of my other cousins crying and, without meaning to, burst out crying.


The last possession I would give up is...


This term I am looking forward to camp, the trails and hanging out with people I usually don't hang out with.


What image would you put on a postcard of Melbourne? Why? I would put: 








And maybe a few more of Melbourne's famous buildings and other random snapshots because it portrays the atmosphere of Melbourne (CBD).

Which Melbourne person would you most like to sit next to on the tram? Why? It depends on what mood I am in and what I am doing. If I'm in a happy mood and have nothing to do, I'd like someone happy, friendly and has a good sense of humour to sit next to me and have a chat. If I'm am in no mood to talk, or am busy, I'd like someone quiet to sit next to me and just respect my space.


If you could invite any 3 people from history to dinner who would you invite? Why? What do you mean by history? People who we learn about in history? Or just people who have died? If the latter counted, my first people would be my grandma on my mum's side. She died quite a few years before I was born, so I just want to meet her and get to know her. Person number two would be Cleopatra because I want to know what is was like having each of her sisters executed, marrying her relatives, being pharaoh and to see if the myths about her 'beauty' are true. Wait, are people in legends allowed? Because the last person I would like to invite is King Arthur of Camelot, just because he is King Arthur of Camelot.

 

Describe Melbourne in three words. Hmmm: Multicultural, LOTE and Unpredictable.

Myers-Briggs Test Result: ENFJ


1. What do the test results say about you? Do you think this is accurate? The test results say that I have a moderate preference of extroversion over introversion, I have a slight preference of intuition over sensing, I have a moderate preference of feeling over thinking and I have a moderate preference of judging over perceiving. Yes, I think that this is pretty accurate.


2. What strengths do the test results indicate you will bring to your team project? Do you agree? Why/Why not? That I am responsive and responsible, can present a proposal or lead a group discussion with ease and I also try handle things with due regard for others' feelings.... I agree a bit, just not the part where I can lead a group discussion with a lot of ease, because I sometimes find it hard to communicate with others.


3. What challenges do the test results suggest you may face in your team project? Do you agree? Why/Why not? It says that I will try handle things with due regard to other peoples' feeling, so maybe this last person to ask me for help will be the first, and vice versa. I would definitely agree with that because it has happened quite a few times before.

  1. Hi ThaoMy,

    I love that you embedded photos in your response. So engaging.

    I gave up biting my nails, it was hard but it can be done. I recommend putting clear polish on to remind you that you no longer are a nail-biter. Good luck breaking the habit.

  2. Hey Carly,

    Thanks for the encouragement. I remember my aunty, who STILL bites her nails, put some 'bitter' clear nail polish on my nails... Unfortunately, though, it wasn't bitter enough.....

    Thao-My
