1st SEMESTER 2020: FINDING A ROLE MODEL

I deeply learned the importance of empathy in my third semester. Unfortunately, I had to take that hard lecturer’s course again; however, this time, I was fortunate to take my favourite lecturer’s course at the same time. It was my second time to take this lovely lecturer’s course. She is always empathetic, very understanding, and a good mentor who always cares about maximizing her students’ learning experiences. When I requested adjustments and support in her class, she always not only accepted my request but also showed her great empathy and told me that she was always happy to support me so that I would not be unnecessarily stressed or disadvantaged in her course. Her empathy always relieved my stress considerably. She is now my role model, and one of my life goals is to learn to be as empathetic as her.
