PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE

KUMBATI ! AJA! KAYANG KAYA! I WILL SURVIVE!

These were my favourite words this semester. Being a 4^th year student of Electronics Engineering is really challenging. It’s not because of the difficult subjects we used to have since 1^st year but the requirements from different subjects. Meeting of the deadlines of the project I should say is the toughest time. Especially, when you’re teacher will give you a requirement today and will be submitted on the following day. AGAD2x!! Oh c’mon L that isn’t right!! But you cannot complain because that’s part of the responsibilities of a student that they called as CHALLENGE.

In this semester, we had two big group projects. When you say it’s a group project, one can say that it’s easier rather than individual but for me it’s more difficult because for me I can work faster and productive when I am alone doing the work. Perhaps, it is true the saying “no man is an island” however I know that when its group project its undeniable to not have conflicts with your group.

When I’m in a group, I usually initiate all the planning’s for the group. I used to be the one who will start the project (I don’t know why) but I just feel it’s my obligation and maybe that’s innate on me already. Consequently, being the so called the leader of the group is the bearer of the burden always in the group. Why do I say so? Because for me, in times of failure you cannot blame it to your members instead you are responsible to response to it in brighter side just like an opportunity for you to strategies to deal that situationJ.

 On the other side, when your group feel hopeless with your project, as a leader you should not show to them that you are also affected otherwise everyone will be pessimistic with your working project. Instead, you need to encourage them and motivate them by setting the fire burning for their passion. (that situation that you cannot show your weaknesses to the people that’s the dilemma of being a leader)     

But you know, what’s the worst story in a group project? Ang maki-bagay sa imung groupmates. Because a group is composed of many persons thus you are opt to deal also with different personalities with your group members.

To be honest I had a tough time dealing with this dilemma. There is this one person in the group of my COM01 and FYP that I cannot get along well. Yes, he might be my friend but there is something about him that I don’t understand now. He seems have changed a lot towards me. I dunno why, but i can feel it that he’s not happy whenever I have done something. Every time I set a schedule he has always an excuse that he can’t help. To make it short, I realized that he don’t like following my plans. L

On the other side, when i’m giving him the chance to lead like asking him what shall we do. He has always the wrong method in planning such as (he want to make it himself only). So I force to understand him however noon hapit na deadline like 2 hours before the deadline, magpatabang na daun ky wala diai nya nahuman pa. This is the most PAAAKK situation I encountered this sem. I mean, “HELLO” this is not individual project you really need to delegate each individual in the group with certain task to realize the project and to be more efficient. My God! STRESSED! That was the situation that I never thought I could handle. Tsk3x

Thanks God, I was able to control myself with the help of prayers. I really prayed that time to give me long patience and Lord let me understand this person. If not because of God and my friends, I don’t really think I can make it.

In the end, we were able to submit our COM01 project (AM demodulation) and our FYP on time.J
