What are the different skills you must have as a HUMSS student??
STRUGGLES OF A HUMSS STUDENT (WITH TIPS!) By: kythesus.blogspot.com
1. You have to be confident.
The key to survive this strand is to be confident. One of the possible jobs of HUMSS are reporters, politician and lawyers and these jobs requires confidence. HUMSS students are expected to be good communicators and public speakers and so this strands has a lot of presentation activities to prepare students for their future jobs. So if you have anxieties or stage frights like me, this strand is not good for your health.
2. You have to be good at everything.
While a STEM student should be good in Science, ABM on Math and GAS on public speaking, A HUMSS student should be good in writing, public speaking, statistics, and all other subjects. In short, you have to know everything, from laws, culture, religion, science, language and everything in humanity. But you don't have to be necessarily good at everything but you really have to work hard in being good at everything. In that way, we could be good writers, reporter, politicians, lawyers and social workers who speak only facts and serve the country well.
3. You need to challenge your own beliefs.
Being a HUMSS students will really challenge your beliefs. In this strand, you will have a lot of debates even in the middle of discussions. If you are the kind of person to be offended easily and is very close minded, then you have to open that mind of yours darling.
4. Lots of writing activities and presentations!
This is pretty much expected in this strand. Since some of the people in this strand are aspiring writers, even if you're taking psychology or criminology in college, you have no choice but to do this. You'll also have a lot of presentations. From stage plays, short film, monologue, extemporaneous speech, impromptu speech, and speech choir, the list is endless.
5. Teachers expect so much when it comes to short films.
Teachers have a lot of expectations to HUMSS students when it comes to film productions. Even though you're still in Senior High School, they are still expecting a lot because HUMSS students are future writers, producers, directors, and video editors. Expectations are always there but its your choice if you will let this expectations be a part of your stress.
6. You are constantly being looked down by other people (and your family).
This is very common when it comes to HUMSS student. Other people think that we have no future in this strand and we wanted to be politicians when in reality majority of the jobs that have high salaries are HUMSS related and being a politician is not the only job for a HUMSS student. We love what we are doing and studying liberal arts won't make us poor and die lonely because our passion is what we live for.
Also..You must read a lot of books if you want to survive in this strand.Because, you are dealing with a lot of people kaya dapat maraming laman ang utak mo.
