Last words.. from Alethea

Hello! This is Alethea. This is going to be my last post and last reflection. Although it was a short 2 weeks in NTU MSE, I think that it was a very enriching experience that I would always remember. I have met new people who have a lot of passion for the work that they are doing. I had learnt new methods and concepts that would help me to better understand my studies. I also saw animals (rats and mice) and new machines that are not found in my school lab. All of the memories that I had in NTU MSE, I would never forget them. I am grateful for the friends that I had made, Yuh Harn and Karmen, for having to endure my nonsense and weird moments. I am thankful that they were in my group, cause they were really great people! I also have to thank the mentors that we had over the past 2 weeks (Hui Kian, Ajay, Ivan, Dr Wen Feng and Huaqiong). They have a lot of passion, patience and interest in their work. I would always remember the numerous talks that the mentors gave. It gave me an insight to how university life would be like and make me think about what I want to be in the future. I would also like to thank my school for providing this opportunity to join this amazing programme! This programme made me realise that there are different aspects of science that you can research on (Material engineering, chemical engineering etc.) But, they are all interlinked with each other. You would need to have some knowledge of physics, biology and chemistry to use the methods and the machines for the project. I find that each subject is equally important for any science research. I also realise that any job we choose would have its own difficulties. It does not mean that one job is easier than the other. It all just depends on whether you have the passion and drive for this specific job. I would definitely miss the people that I had met and the places that I had been to. SO, in conclusion (lol), do find out which areas you are interested in and try out the many attachments available. Haha, good bye! :p

P.S i typed this today as i would be flying off tonight and i won't be here tmr.
