The right path to success
College of Arts and social sciences,
English
You will not
dazzle a manager in a company, a head in a college of being a bright student as
you'll explode their curiosity of being gifted in some extra curricular
activities. Yes, they are looking for smart employees but the skillful ones are
the ones whom will be picked. In fact, being active in extracurricular
activities can be as beneficial as getting high grades. For instance, it will give
you the opportunity to do your best and inspire others to do so. You will be a responsible person for your action. You
will be ready to shine. Khulood Al Ghadani meets Mr. Ahmed Al Abdali, an English
instructor at the language center at SQU, who is well known for his belief in
extra curricular activities.
Mr. Ahmed explained that from his
first day at the university, he made sure to take part in as many societies as
possible. He
stated, “In fact, I was the founders of the translation
group which has become now was English and Translation Society.” Hence, he
tried to strike a balance between his university work and the extracurricular
activities. In his second year, he was able to publish some of his translation
passages. In fact, his translation was seen by his Majesty, who has sent his
thanks through the minister of national heritage. He didn’t stop there but he
even translated a couple of books for the university.
Although he was good at
extracurricular activities, he has never neglected his academic studies. He argued
that GPA is very crucial for the community as it is like the first indication
of a student's academic achievement. He says,“ however it may or may not give
an indication of his personality. And that's why GPA and extra-activities
especially the ones that are related to the field of the study have to go hand
in hand.” They are both as important as one another. He concluded the interview
by saying that students should integrate their “academic personality" in
the class and then get into the world of activities.
