Dear Professor Brad,
My name is Bryan Kan, and I am writing to introduce myself as a student in your critical thinking and communicating module. I hope this letter provides a clear understanding of who I am.
Before entering the Singapore Institute of Technology, I graduated with a diploma in aerospace engineering from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. My interest in engineering began when I attended an engineering workshop in secondary school, where we learned to build simple machines, such as lever systems and basic catapults. Seeing how these concepts applied to real-world problems, like lifting heavy objects with minimal effort using a pulley system, sparked my curiosity and passion for engineering. As a result, I decided to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering to explore more complex challenges and deepen my knowledge.
One of my strengths is workplace communication. During my national service, I served as an officer in charge of security at Paya Lebar Airbase. A significant event I managed was enhancing security at the airbase for the Shangri-La Dialogue. During the planning phase, I interacted with the commanding officer and troopers to gather feedback on areas needing stronger security. I realized I could communicate effectively with all staff, regardless of their ranks. This ability helped me develop a strong working relationship with the management team.
On the other hand, I need to improve my writing skills, particularly regarding grammatical errors and organizing my thoughts. I have struggled with run-on sentences and misplaced commas, which made my writing confusing.
Through this module, I hope to enhance both my writing and presentation skills. The knowledge I gain from attending your classes will benefit me in my upcoming Integrated Work Study Programme report and presentation, as well as in the future when I enter the workforce.
What differentiates me from others is my perseverance and determination when facing challenges. I approach every obstacle with the mindset that setbacks are opportunities to grow and learn. This outlook allows me to stay focused and motivated. I take pride in my ability to remain patient and keep moving forward, using every challenge as a stepping stone to greater achievement.
Yours sincerely,
Bryan Kan
