5 Ways of Adaptability

During my time in the Bangkit Academy 2024 program, I encountered five essential ways to adapt: interacting, achieving, learning, working, and thinking.

?? Ways of Interacting

Being part of a large, diverse community where English is predominantly used sharpened my communication skills. I learned to navigate messages that weren’t perfectly translated, piecing together the intended meaning like solving a fun little puzzle. It really boosted my ability to understand and respond effectively in Bangkit environment.

Since the program was fully online, I had to be proactive, making sure people noticed my presence. Google Meet’s emoji reactions were great for showing I was still alive during discussions.

?? Ways of Achieving

One of my key goals was hitting all the milestones—because nothing beats watching your progress bar move! With Bangkit’s clear deadlines and instructions, staying on track felt easy. Their organized approach kept me motivated and focused, making success feel like a well-mapped journey (without getting lost!).

?? Ways of Learning

Handling all the Coursera and Dicoding material? Yeah, that was a lot. I quickly realized multitasking wouldn’t cut it—I had to treat these courses like in-person lessons. Full attention became my secret weapon for absorbing content and staying engaged.

Bangkit also introduced me to advanced technical topics, so I had to carve out focused time. That commitment helped me conquer the material and tackle my capstone with confidence.

??? Ways of Working

Luckily, I had online work experience, so adjusting to Bangkit’s workflow was smooth. Discord, Google Meet, etc. were already familiar, and late-night sessions? Been there, done that. I easily integrated my habits into the program and stayed productive through all the virtual meetings.

?? Ways of Thinking

The ILT soft skills sessions were a game-changer for my mindset. Bangkit helped me shift toward a growth mindset, making me more self-aware and mindful. It was a lightbulb moment where I realized, "Hey, maybe I should be a little kinder to myself too." Once I embraced that, adapting to challenges felt a lot easier. Growth mindset: officially activated!

These five ways of adapting have sharpened my skills and prepared me for future challenges. Bangkit Academy 2024 has truly been a transformative experience!
