One thing that I experienced that I’m together with people and a really field board, incredibly field board, is when I was a university student and we went in orientation about financial literacy. Since I’m a type of person that I really don’t like about learning about financial, since it’s not really my passion to learn about money and of course it’s kind of difficult for me when it comes to counting money. So I think that financial orientation really made me feel bored during that time because the first time is the course firstly the speaker is person in our school that is really also has the responsibility, responsible for that point. And this event happened when I was a university student and all students need to attend this kind of orientation. And actually the speaker are really so serious and even she didn’t give some some jokes and I think she’s really like considerate enough because I know that there are some students also get bored during the time but these speakers just only tell and tell but this is not allowed everyone to be cooperative and also ask some questions and also to let someone call their attention or giving some activities that can energize everyone. And I think I really feel during that time because of course I don’t really like financial literacy but of course it’s because of the monotonous voice of the speaker and actually there are some students that are not really interested enough during the time and it seems like they want to end the time but actually that during orientation it really takes about two hours.

One experience I had when I was with people and felt incredibly bored was during my university orientation about financial literacy. I'm the type of person who really doesn't enjoy learning about finance, as it's not my passion, and I find it difficult when it comes to counting money. I think the financial orientation made me feel bored because the speaker was someone from our school who was responsible for the event. This event occurred when I was a university student, and all students were required to attend this orientation. The speaker was very serious and didn't include any jokes. I think she was considerate enough, as I know some students were also bored during that time. However, the speaker just kept talking without allowing anyone to be cooperative or ask questions. There were no activities to engage us or energize the audience. I really felt bored during that time, not only because I don't like financial literacy but also due to the monotonous tone of the speaker. Some students seemed uninterested and appeared to want the session to end. The orientation lasted about two hours, which felt quite long. Overall, it was a challenging experience for me, being surrounded by people yet feeling so disengaged from the topic being discussed.
