Graduates should prioritize refining this skill to enhance their overall professional success. - Edmond and YaoYang

Despite my strong desire, my academic results fell short of the requirements. However, this setback guided me towards a new path in civil engineering, where I discovered an alternative means to fulfill my aspiration. Civil engineering empowers me to contribute to society by constructing structures, including shelters, homes, and hospitals, impacting lives through the built environment. Regarding communication, previously in NP, I showcased my active listening skills throughout my term as the Vice President of DE Society. ...
