Generasi Gigih #Week5

Time flies so fast. There are already only 2 weeks left in this Intermediate phase. It means the Advanced phase is about to come (omg). This Intermediate phase felt like a game where we compete with each other to gain the most points. 

Every week we are supposed to get our points announced on the Xperience Board. The Xperience Board is the leaderboard of the points that I mentioned before.

 The xperience board header. 

Of course, I won't tell you the data because it contains private information (our points) hehe

Honestly, I didn't compete that much because my purpose for this phase is to learn and progress as much as possible.  But whenever the XP board is announced there is still a part of me that doesn't want to lose :(

How do I feel about the board?

My score is not very high but also not very low. It is in the middle. I got the points from attending all classes, doing all assignments, and actively participating in the class. I already did my best for attendance and assignments even though some assignments were out of my expectations. I feel satisfied enough with the result because I used to be very passive in other same kinds of events. At least I already made a progress. I actually pushed myself to ask or answer a question at least once every session. Yeah so, I'm proud of myself for doing that. But, if I remember my next target (to pass to the advanced phase), I feel kinda insecure.  

There will only be around 60 participants who can join the next phase. I don't know if I can change my position because everybody else is also full of ambition. And as I mentioned before I didn't really take this XP competition seriously because I have my own target. But if you want to pass to the next phase you do have to compete, right? I hope there will be an additional selection just like the previous phase. However, I will make the most of my last 2 weeks in this phase. There are still many things that I can work on to increase my position on the leaderboard. I can maximize my final project and assignment scores, and ask or answer more questions in class, and pray harder. I believe if I meant to pass this phase I will pass.

To those who made it to the top of the board...

I only want to say "Congratulations!". I am very proud of you. I've seen your effort and you deserve the honor. 

The top scorers have given their best efforts. Not only do they always ask and answer any questions, but they also helped other friends including me. So I think their sincere heart also helped them to gain points. And also I've seen some of them who always went the extra mile for their assignment for example they learned one material ahead and already applied the lesson that they weren't required to do. They inspired me to be more ambitious and always work hard for what I want. Hard work pays off.

To those who are struggling...

Keep your chin up, guys! For now, just accept where you are at now and reflect on it... Not everyone has to be the number one. Ask yourself what you want, if you are getting closer to it then you should proud of yourself. Don't think too much of the result, you only always have to do your best in every chance you have. We're in this together! Many nice friends are ready to answer our questions in discord, and we are always welcomed to ask any question in the class. No matter how shallow you think the question is, human is basically always happy to help each other. We have the right to ask anything. We still have 2 weeks remaining of class, there are still many things that can happen in 2 weeks :)) 

Hope we can get through this phase as well as we expected,
