Sixth week - virtual reality and Aida Hubanic

Hi!

It's Sunday evening again and time to tell about the past week. Just realized that the autumn is on midway and I feel it's still end of the summer. This week hasn't been as busy as others but here is topics from the past school week.

Virtual reality

Our teacher Ilkka started our week with Mark Zuckenbergs video of virtual world. Video was super impressive and get me thinking about how fast our world is going to be more and more digital. In my opinion the idea of virtual reality sounds actually little bit scary but I thing it could open many doors in the future world.

After that Lari Aho kept a Minecraft Vantaa workshop for us. The idea was that everyone could try and learn how to play the game but it was not as piece of cake as that it should have been. The workshop answered to many questions but still left some questions for us. After the workshop our team got together and now I think we have a very good plan to implement the project that could also be useful for representative. Next week we are going to introduce our spectacular idea so stay tuned!

Aida Hubanic

On Friday we had a day which was named "case Samsung". I didn't have any expectations about that but the day surprised me positively. We got an awesome guest speaker Aida Hubanic with us. Hubanic told us her own story which was very impressive. She is very brave woman and has experienced a lot in her life. She is from Sarajevo and came to Finland 22 years ago because of war. She has created her own story here bravely and successfully. At the moment she is studying Master's degree in Laurea and has her own company as a mentor and motivator. Her story was very impressive because she told it with pride.

At the moment Hubanic is mentor and motivator so she spoke about motivation for us. I totally agreed that it's very important to know your own strengths and weaknesses. Only by knowing them you can improve yourself, develop weaknesses and on the other hand underline strengths. Also her sentence that "Keep your why with you" stayed to my mind. In every part of life it's always very important to know why you are doing something. Hubanic told that her "why" is her little son because she wants to be an good example for her. Everyone had their own "why" which motivate to do things. That sentence got me thing what is my "why" in every part of my life.
