Self Introduction
Subject: Self Introduction of Mith
Dear Professor Blackstone, I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Mithran, but you can call me Mith. I'm a first-year student in the critical thinking and communicating module's class S20. Allow me to briefly introduce myself. I graduated with a Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering from Singapore Polytechnic in 2022. My passion for aerospace was ignited by my love of travel, which has taken me to over 20 countries. I've only been to three of the seven continents, but seeing all seven of them is one of my life's dreams. Fueled by my passion, I decided to pursue a diploma in Aeronautical Engineering, which sparked a wider interest in engineering. I especially enjoyed the hands-on and technical aspects during various technical workshops and also my internship at an aerospace company. There, I contributed to solving various workshop issues, reinforcing my desire to pursue engineering as a long-term career. My ability to effectively provide and receive feedback is one of my communication strengths. Receiving constructive criticism promotes development, and being receptive to criticism demonstrates my adaptability. This fosters mutual respect and trust, creating a positive dynamic in both personal and professional settings. My communication problem—stuttering and excessive use of filler words—can hinder clear communication and make it difficult for me to express myself intelligibly. Using fillers like "um" or "like" can make my speech seem less confident, and stammering can make people hesitate. My main goal for this module is to overcome my stutter and use fewer filler words to speak more clearly. This will enable me to communicate with greater confidence and clarity to others when I express my ideas. Making deep connections with my peers is another one of my goals because it will improve teamwork and create a positive learning atmosphere. My driven mindset is what makes me unique. When I set a goal for myself, I strive to meet it and make the required sacrifices to see it through. My ability to maintain composure and concentration in the face of hardship is a testimony to my unwavering dedication to achieving my objectives. I appreciate you taking the time to read this letter, and I sincerely hope that this module will be a memorable one. Yours Sincerely, Mithran

DeleteHi Mith! After meeting you in real life and reading this blog, I definitely couldn't tell that you had any issues with stuttering at all and I believe that you will be able to overcome this issue with ease in Prof Blackstone's classes. And like the above comments, I hope you will be able to achieve your dream of exploring all 7 continents in the future!

ReplyDeletesee you in class mith :)
Dear Mith,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this clearly organized, articulate and informative letter. You address all the key points of the brief and elaborate with fine detail. One example would be the way you connect your choice of engineering to the travel that has taken you around the world. It's interesting that you suggest that you can build on that experience, linking your dreams of visiting all 7 continents to something as basic as hands-on work.
The part focused on your comm skills is also fascinating as you declare that your "being receptive to criticism demonstrates my adaptability." I'd agree with that, and I hope to see you ensure that the
peer feedback sessions reach their maximum benefit for all involved.
I look forward to hearing more from you in the coming weeks.
Best wishes,
Brad
Hey Mithran,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your letter! It gave me a lot of insight into your experiences, values, and aspirations. I felt a genuine connection in the way you expressed yourself, and it was inspiring to hear about your journey. The way you emphasized the importance of providing and receiving feedback really resonated with me, as it’s a vital part of growth for everyone involved. I couldn’t agree more that constructive feedback helps us improve, learn new perspectives, and ultimately become better at what we do—whether it’s in our personal lives or professional endeavors.
Your openness and thoughtfulness throughout the letter made me appreciate the depth of your reflections. I think it’s amazing that you’re constantly seeking ways to improve, and your willingness to engage in such honest communication shows that you're committed to making the most out of every experience. It’s something I admire, and I hope to adopt more of that mindset in my own life as well. I believe this exchange of ideas and thoughts benefits both of us and enhances our understanding of each other.
I was particularly struck by your mention of wanting to explore all seven continents one day. That’s such an exciting and adventurous goal! Traveling the world, experiencing different cultures, landscapes, and people is something that I think would truly enrich your perspective even further. I hope that as time goes on, you get the opportunity to make that dream a reality. Visiting all seven continents is no small feat, but with your passion and determination, I have no doubt that you’ll make it happen. The stories and experiences you’ll collect along the way will be invaluable, and I can’t wait to hear all about them when the time comes.
Once again, thank you for the thoughtful and insightful words. I look forward to continuing our discussions in the future. Here’s to more growth, feedback, and shared experiences!
Warm regards,
Jun Wei
