As you come to the end of the BZSE course, what have you discovered about yourself? How would this affect what you would like to do with your life?

I have discovered that my desire in social enterprising burns deeper then ever. There is so much more that can be done to change the world. There is so much more to do, even in Singapore. If we as BZSE students do it, who will?

However, I really feel that we, as BZSE students, really lack necessary skills to make a social enterprise works. We still need much more exposure, much more skills, and much more motivation to create a successful social enterprise. If I were to start a SE now, I am sure that I would make many many mistakes. Mistakes can be expensive. Mistakes costs time, costs money, among other things.

I would definitely set up a social enterprise in the future, but my goal now is to gain more experience in other fields of work. My plan is to spend 3 years doing other things to gain the capital, the experience, and the network to run a social enterprise.

Many people laugh when I tell them, hey, someday I will set up something that will change the world. However, someday, I will show them.

I believe that I already have the passion and drive to make a change. However, because of the lack of other skills, I may not be able to accomplish that right now. Thankfully, all of that can be learnt. I hope to learn all of that someday.
