Hannah is a second year Life Sciences undergraduate in the National University of Singapore. She chose to pursue this course as she has always been amazed at how every thing in the universe has a part to fuifil, a critical role to play irregardless of its size.

She is an individual who believes very strongly in teamwork as
together everyone achieves more.

Being in a team allows her to develop a better understanding of her strengths and weakness and thus teaches her to learn to accommodate and respect other individuals.

Being a keen learner, she is highly motivated and enthusiastic in achieving her goals, both short and long term. She thrives on challenges as she deemed them as stepping stones towards greater success and valuable experiences are often gained through difficult times

She can connect very well to people as she is sensitive towards others. Her sociable and caring character has enabled her to work very well with people and thus have forged many strong friendships along the way.

Performing on stage (singing/acting) has always been one of her interests as she enjoys conveying the emotions of the songs or character that she is performing, to the audience. It requires a high level of discipline in order to achieve that, as one has to learn to put aside his/her current thoughts and feelings in order to portray the right emotion.

She also strives to be a Christian that walks closely to her Lord, and to be able to glorify Him in whatever tasks she undertakes.

Note: This is written using a third person account as I was reading through my teachers' testimonials in my report cards before writing the above mentioned.So I thought it would be interesting to write my own biodata from a different person perspective.

Since the 8 September 2008, where my group “ Brad’s Bad Children” , first sat down for a formal meeting, discussing the possible research topics and the allocation of designations for the research project, my group has indeed learnt from one another during the one month spent writing the report.

For instance, my group members and I had varied writing styles and thus , when combining the different portions of the report which we were each assigned, it was not an easy task as the report tend not to be cohesive. Thus, extra time was spent in editing to adopt one particular writer’s style in order to ensure the smooth flow of the report.

Another challenge we met, which I assumed most of other group members likewise faced too is packed schedules. Adding on to that, some of us had three to four mid term exams during the week before we handed in our first draft, thus we had to juggle many “variables” in order to ensure that there was sufficient time to do the report and to prepare for the exams.

Teamwork was thus demonstrated in overcoming this challenge as my group mates helped one another out whereby when one has finished the assigned task, he/she will help the other who was facing a difficulty in completing the task due to the large workload.
How sweet !!

Thus, to summarize, if I had to comment on strength and weakness of my group,

Strength :
Everyone would put in the extra effort to source for information for others in order to make everyone’s workload lighter.

Weakness :
We tend to lose focus easily and maybe rather disorganized. However, we managed to overcome this by deciding on the agenda of the meeting and ensuring that the objectives of each project meeting were met.

In retrospect, working together with three people of different personalities has enabled me to realize the importance of effective communication. It is the channel to ensure tasks assigned are carried out efficiently and a solution to any disagreements that occurred due to differing opinions.

My group learnt to employ this tool, which thus has enabled us to come up with a report, which we are most satisfied with.
