About Myself

Dear Professor Brad Blackstone

I would like to make use of this opportunity to introduce myself due to the limitations of doing so in class. I am Sean Sin Kiat Wei, you can call me Sean and I am a year 1 telematics student in your technical communications group class. I  graduated from Singapore Polytechnic in 2014 with a diploma in bioengineering and decided to take up telematics as it is the most relevant course out of the other courses I was offered. Singapore is also progressing into a smart nation with various on-going interesting intelligent transports projects such as driverless cars and other smart car projects. This is also part of the reason for choosing telematics as my course of study in Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT).

Aside from academics, I am also an enthusiastic basketball player and I have been playing organised basketball since I was thirteen. I play the shooting guard position. And as the position suggest, my job is to score every time I receive the ball when possible. I would also have to communicate well with my team mates so that we can execute a play flawlessly. Apart from sports, I have been building, customizing and racing in miniature four-wheel-drive (4WD) cars as my favorite pastime. I have already customized about five cars till date and I usually head down to the race track in the Tamiya Store near Tai Seng area to test out my customization. This thought came one day while I was building and customizing a car, what if I were able to build a car by myself, driving to where we command the car to go and get to the destination on time and with zero accident rate. That thought was the key reason why I have decided to seize the opportunity to enroll and study in the field of intelligent transport systems. 

The most crucial flaw in communication that I have is  the ability to articulate myself to the public. I usually get very anxious speaking to large groups and it got so bad that I would actually get into a mental block and would just mumble to myself during the presentation. I believe that I will conquer my phobia and overcome this pivotal communication obstacle after this twenty-hour module. Separately, my strength for communication is the capability to speak in smaller circles. I must thank both national service and basketball for me being sociable.

One of my goals for this module is definitely to be more confident when speaking in a presentation. My second goal would to upgrade my speaking skills. I believe that improving in communications is the same as improving in basketball and customizing a miniature 4WD car, it takes criticism from the audience and years of practice.

Thank you for your time.

Yours Sincerely,

Sean
