Name of Lecturer -Ms. Sharmila Goyal AL
Introduction
My name is Arkar Lwin, a 20-year-old Burmese student studying
Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering at PSB Academy. As I walk through my academic
path, the message here for me is to find out about how and why it takes place in myself
and carry on with a similar one way or another. This self-reflection journal is a place for
me to analyse my experiences, struggles and dreams in order be purposeful with the work
I do during grad school that fit within the broader picture of what really matters most.

Strength
1-Empathy and Compassion
This is due to a very strong preference for the Feeling trait (51% and 73%) which means I
think much more with my heart than people who have less of this tendency.

giving reassuring advice to make him feel less isolated.

and offer emotional support to them.
