Yet, amidst this exciting journey, there are moments when homesickness creeps in. The longing for familiar faces, places, and the comfort of home can be overwhelming. But it is in these moments that I find strength, knowing that this experience is shaping me in ways I never imagined. In this peaceful setting, I’m reminded of how far I’ve come and how much further I have to go. It’s a place that offers clarity and inspires me to keep moving forward, no matter the obstacles. Here’s to the journey, to the dreams we chase, to the homes we miss, and to the moments of reflection that keep us grounded. #UniversityOfWarwick #MScJourney #InternationalStudent #EnvironmentalEngineering #CivilEngineering #CareerGoals #PersonalGrowth #Homesickness

🎉 Proud parent moment! 🎉 I'm delighted to share that my daughter has successfully passed all her first-year exams in Civil Engineering! Her confidence was so high that she booked a holiday during the resit period – a bold move! 🙄 Have you ever walked out of an exam and know you have aced it? Personally, even when I have done well, there's always been a bit of doubt lingering. That's why I strongly advocate for instant feedback on any online assessments we deliver. Here’s why: ⚡ Immediate Learning Opportunity: Students can immediately understand what they got right or wrong, reinforcing learning and quickly correcting misunderstandings. ⚡ Reduced Anxiety: Instant results can alleviate the stress and anxiety associated with waiting for grades. ⚡ Encourages Continuous Improvement: Feedback helps students improve their performance in future assessments, fostering a growth mindset. ⚡ Transparency and Fairness: It enhances the perception of transparency and fairness in the assessment process. Balancing confidence with humility and preparation is key. #ProudParent #Education #CivilEngineering #StudentSuccess #Steminest #InstantFeedback #ContinuousImprovement #eAssessment

Discovering my True North Lot of people ask me several questions concerning my course of study. .Do you really love your course of study? .Is it your parents that mandate it for you to study? .Are you sure you can do to this? .Was it your school that changed your course? I smile most times these question are asked. During my secondary school days, I was uncertain about my future course of study. However, I knew I wanted to pursue science. It wasn't until our school's career day in Senior Secondary School 2 (SS2) that I began contemplating my options. The career day exercise sparked reflection. We were asked to dress according to our future ambitions, but I was still undecided. When our teacher requested our chosen courses, everyone submitted theirs except me. My teacher inquired about my delay, and I ruled out medical courses. She then presented alternative science-based options, and I chose the one that resonated with me. This experience ignited a passion within me, guiding my educational journey. I'm proud to say that I'm now pursuing civil engineering driven by curiosity and enthusiasm. To those who ask, I assure them that this path is my choice, fueled by my interests and strengths. My parents and school supported my decision, but the drive comes from within. I'm confident in my abilities and excited to explore the possibilities this course offers." I feel my story can be a form of inspiration to people having doubt on what they DREAM to be or do. That there's hardly anything you can't do irrespective of your age,gender, status,caliber. Nothing should hinder you from your DREAM.You can do anything you put your mind to.It all boils down to: . MINDSET . DETERMINATION . DISCIPLINE . CONSISTENCY . COMMITMENT #growth #selfdevelopmentadvocate #storyselling #personalgrowth #networking #virtualassistant

This picture was taken by me on Nilesh Jeetah's first day at the University of Plymouth in 2019.Reflecting on his journey as Nilesh Jeetah MEng (First Class) graduates on Tuesday 16th July, 2024. Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind Stephen Covey's Habit 2, "Begin With the End in Mind," emphasizes the importance of envisioning your ultimate goals and defining clear measures of success to achieve them. Here’s how you can incorporate this habit into your life: 1. Visualize Your Goals: Start by imagining your ideal future. What do you want to achieve in your personal and professional life? This vision acts as a guiding star, providing direction and purpose. 2. Set Clear Objectives: Break down your vision into specific, measurable objectives. These should be achievable, relevant, and time-bound. For instance, if your goal is career advancement, set milestones such as acquiring new skills, networking, and gaining relevant experience. 3. Create a Plan: Develop a step-by-step plan to reach your objectives. Identify the resources you need, potential obstacles, and strategies to overcome them. A well-structured plan keeps you focused and on track. 4. Measure Your Progress: Regularly assess your progress against your objectives. Are you meeting your milestones? If not, adjust your plan accordingly. Continuous evaluation ensures that you stay aligned with your end goals. 5. Stay Committed: Consistency is key. Keep your end goal in mind and stay committed to your plan. Remember, success is a journey, not a destination. Stay motivated and celebrate small victories along the way. By beginning with the end in mind you can achieve your goal just like Nilesh did by completing his MEng degree in Civil Engineering- First Class in 2024. #NileshJeetah #UniversityofPlymouth #Graduation2024 #Engineering #MEng

I’m happy to share that I’ve been awarded my Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering, and I’m happy to be accomplishing such a goal at an early age of my career. I’ve come along way from whether I want to do engineering or not, and now I’m diving deep. I’m grateful for all the helpful guidance and advice I’ve received from the Faculty of Engineering at Sohar University, especially my advisor Dr Mohsin Qureshi. Besides academic achievements, I have been focused during the past two years on improving my productivity and performance, and I’ve came across a lot of useful insights. The deep work skill which I came across in the book Deep Work by Cal Newport has changed my way of doing things. In a world full of distractions it has become hard to work and study in a focused manner leading to produce high quality work. A four hour of deep work can be more valuable and productive than an eight hour of shallow work. However, with the social media and smartphones depleting our attention span its not an easy skill to equip. But everything is possible with ones well-power. And that lead me to trying to improve my habits and building them. I’ve learned valuable information from Atomic habits by James Clear, but the most valuable thing I’ve learned so far is not to rely on motivation, but on drive instead. Its hard to stay always motivated, nor its something that can be controlled or consistent. However, knowing your reasons and why you need to accomplish such things makes you become driven and push way further in consistency. There was more to learn and a lot of change happened in a span of two years. Earning a degree did not change me but my investment in improving myself. There’s more to come and my learning journey shall never stop.

A career path no longer moves in a straight line that advances upward. I believe the phrase “learning for a living” has replaced “earning a living.” Flexibility, re-calibration, and acquisition of “soft” skills relating to communication, relationship building, and emotional intelligence must be counterpoints to technical competencies associated with STEM. The following list is a thought-starter to provide perspective and ideas: https://lnkd.in/gwXFRvZg #Engineers #Architects #Construction

🌉 "Bridge of Dreams" 🌉 -How about I tell you an inspirational story about a group of some enthusiastic students, just like us, who took on a big challenge together. -In the middle of their college , there was an old footbridge. It looked really shabby and wasn't safe to walk on anymore. But these students saw it as an opportunity to do something great. -They didn't have much money or fancy tools, but they had lots of ideas and a strong desire to make a difference. So, they got to work. -They spent months planning and building. They faced many problems along the way, like not having enough money or bad weather. But they never gave up. Instead, they worked even harder and helped each other out whenever someone needed it. -Finally, after a lot of hard work, the bridge was finished. It looked amazing! People from all over came to see it and admire what the students had done. -Standing on the bridge together, the students felt proud of what they had accomplished. They realized that when you work together and believe in yourself, you can achieve anything. -So, the next time you face a challenge, remember the story of these student engineers. No matter how big the problem seems, with teamwork and determination, you can overcome it and make something amazing happen. 🏆 ⭐ #Engineering #Teamwork #Success #Dreams #Believe #Students #Inspirational
