A reflection journal i sent to LEO for Eliza Teo my beloved facilitator who wants to get to know her students better

Firstly, before I tell you about myself I would like to let you know somethings I noticed.

Firstly, I have difficulty in remembering whatever facts I learnt before so I'm sorry if I gave the incorrect information at times. However, I do notice when I hear information that seem very wrong at times, you just seem to let it go. Please try to let the class know that if we have given the wrong facts or definitions because at the moment, only you have the expertise.

I was hoping that you would point out later before the class ended, but I didn't hear it so I guess I'll just tell you in the RJ instead of sending you an email. So now, maybe I'll start telling you more about me.

Like you, I believe in RP-PBL methodology and I too believe it takes two hands to clap. Also, I am taking this diploma because I know certifications for the fitness line can be taken through crash courses and in short durations. So short that sometimes, the educating process of knowledge is somewhat compromise. Therefore, I choose to backtrack and take a diploma to gain more formal or informal knowledge about sports and exercise.

I would really appreciate, that you upload or email resources for us to do reading before the lessons start, so as to pre-empt us on what's going to happen and also for us to have enough background knowledge to start doing whatever we need to do. This is really essential because there are no 6P and these modules are really applicable in our careers.

Of course, I do know that resource databases like pubmed may have what is required, but it is really taxing and difficult to find articles that is directly related to our modules and problems because we do not know all the problem statements and related topics. So, I implore you do to try and do something about it.

I actually considered joining RP either as an AA or facilitator initially, but I decided to take a plunge in the fitness industry to chase some of my passionate dreams. I aim to help people and also corporations get healthy and fit, eventually leading to a healthier lifestyle.

As for my character, half the time I keep people guessing what are my thoughts. This is because sometimes what I say and what I do may surprise or even confuse people. But rest assured, that all times that my intentions are kind and of no ill-will. I am an extrovert and introvert at the same time. Extroverted by circumstances and introverted by nature. You cannot survive if you keep to yourself most of the time, so you need to at least a sociable and approachable front if you want to handle real life situations.

As for introverted nature lies the obsfucation of my real character. Sure I'm essentially a nice person, but like all people I do have my share of woes. But what's so great about talking sad things, when you probably have a truckload of good things awaiting for you in life. I love weight training and recently I'm doing a lot of cardiovascular workout because I just recovered (partial recovery though). I am cynical at times because of what I have encountered through my own fields of experience, but I always give everyone a benefit of the doubt and a second chance if I can.

When I am free I read books, poetry, listen to music, bitch about life and the government. I love to share with people my ever changing philosophies and point of view in life, sometimes too enthusiatic that I neglect to understand other's viewpoint. What can I say, I am just a depressing passionate guy. What a delightful combination , don't you think?
