When I was a university student, I used to attend a lot of activities. Since I’m really what we will say this one, that I’m an outgoing person and I really love to communicate different types of people. And when I was a university student, I took as a Bachelor of Elementary Education. But also, in our school, I’m one of the representatives where let’s say I’m a leader during that time and I need also to communicate with other major such as like the businessmen, business students and hotel management students. And there was a time that as a leader, we need to attend about financial management. And the financial management is something that I really consider it’s important. But in my case, I really don’t find it interesting for me since I really don’t love numbers. And then, yes, when we were in that kind of meeting or in that kind of orientation about financial management, the speakers really sound monotonous and even he didn’t allow anyone to express their own feelings or about their opinion about the financial management. And there is no really cooperation in that kind of orientation. So it made me feel really boring or really feel vapid because I am really the type of person that when I’m really in the orientation, I really want to say that she or he will really allow everyone to cooperate. But in that kind of event, this speaker is just only by himself. He didn’t allow anyone to really talk. So I think it made me really feel like I really don’t have this interest. So, yeah, I think that’s one of the things that I really feel bored during that time when I was a university student.

When I was a university student, I used to attend a lot of activities. Since I'm really what we would say an outgoing person, I really love to communicate with different types of people. I took a Bachelor of Elementary Education. In our school, I was one of the representatives, a leader during that time, and I needed to communicate with other majors, such as business students and hotel management students. There was a time when, as a leader, we needed to attend a session on financial management. I consider financial management to be important, but I really don't find it interesting since I don't love numbers. During that meeting or orientation about financial management, the speakers sounded monotonous, and they didn't allow anyone to express their feelings or opinions about financial management. There was no real cooperation in that orientation, which made me feel really bored and vapid. I am the type of person who wants everyone to cooperate during an orientation. However, in that event, the speaker was just talking by himself and didn't allow anyone to contribute. This made me feel like I really didn't have any interest in the topic. So, I think that's one of the times I felt bored during my university years. It was frustrating because I wanted to engage and share ideas, but the environment didn't allow for that. Overall, it was a disappointing experience that highlighted how important interaction is in learning environments.
