Growing the Seeds of Life
:
To my dearest and simply awesome EIR
students,
2014 marks the 11th
year that EIR was launched as a cross-disciplinary subject. EIR continues its
legacy of successfully delivering quality teaching and learning experiences
using social media technologies and flipped classroom activities. This will not
be possible and I will
not be who I am today without the amazing support of all of YOU, my dearest EIR
students and alumni, who have invested quality time and effort on our fantastic
EIR journey together. As you end your EIR journey this week and begin your new journey in your
respective courses of study, let’s cherish the good times we had shared by
applying what we had learnt in EIR into our lives. Its never easy to bid
farewell especially when we are just about to get to know one another better.
Thank you for your
warm friendship and trusting me to be your teacher, coach, mentor and friend
throughout our EIR journey together, even though we come from different Schools.
Thank you for opening up your minds to enjoy learning and experience growth as
you interact and exchange views with the industry partners and EIR Alumni over
Google+Hangout and during the site visit to iExperience, despite other
commitments in your life. I will miss all of YOU especially your smiles and
laughter as you work on your video and research project together as a team.
As I witness your
weekly perseverance and diligence to complete the Portfolio assignments, I
thank God for the gifts of wonderfully good students like all of YOU and
opportunity to touch the hearts and minds of so many precious young lives.
To me imparting EIR
skills and knowledge through my personal stories and experiences to inspire all
of YOU is like growing SEEDs of life. The EIR lessons and weekly coaching and
mentoring is like watering and nurturing the seed to grow into a tree with
branches, flowers, fruits and leaves. The branches are like your research team
members supporting one another. Now the seed has grown into a tree which
provides fruits and shade to others just like all of you who are now empowered to
sustain your academic and future professional life and guide others to unravel
the full meaning of their life.
Spread the good news
of EIR by writing an inspirational message to the next batch of EIR students by
signing the 1-minute autograph here. Stay Happy and Positive always.
Your Friend Always,
Ms Farida N.
