SAS3000: An Overview

How was my experience going through SAS3000 and what were my observations and self-discoveries?
Through the SAS3000 course, I was enlightened on the logistics of my possible future careers. I learned about how businesses support themselves and interpret market trends. I also was challenged on different tasks I will do once I start my professional life, such as doing interviews and making my resumé.
How does my own knowledge, values, attitudes and assumptions of past and present experiences influence the way I feel or act on my career pursuit?
I realized that the skills that I have and the skills I still harness can greatly contribute to my future career path. Furthermore, I believe that right now, I already have to start contemplating and taking into consideration the factors that will make me choose the industry I will pursue a career in, to ensure that I succeed.
What would I like to change and improve about myself?
I mostly want to learn how to be brave in stepping out of my comfort zone, and being comfortable with failure as I believe that it is inevitable. I would like to absorb that even failing is an opportunity for me to better myself and gain more experience that I can use in the long run.
What are the implications of my actions for my career plans, myself and others?
I believe that every action I do is part of the foundation that I am building for my future career. Most, if not all, of the decisions that I make with regards to my academic responsibilities, extracurriculars, and even my future internships, all serve as a way to strengthen my resolve and skills that I can utilize once I start my professional life. Furthermore, all of these actions also serve as an opportunity to gain more experience that can, in turn, help me improve on my intrapersonal skills and abilities.
