Before coming here, I had many imaginations about this journey, but the truth always has plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My undergraduate major was in Digital Media Technology, which was my destiny. During that time, I gained much computer science knowledge, including Database Management, Data Structures, Web Design, and Game Development. These courses and projects laid a solid foundation for my coding skills. Additionally, we often shot short films, sparking my interest in directing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the pandemic had significantly impacted my university life. Without the pandemic, I would have a stronger foundation in coding, more project experience, and more enjoyable university life. But life doesn&#8217;t have &#8216;maybes.&#8217; I felt so helpless and depressed at that time, which led me to find solace in playing billiards, a journey that taught me much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel incredibly fortunate and content at CDM. My teachers and classmates are amiable, allowing me to express myself freely. I no longer worry that my spoken English will be mocked; instead, I find this environment conducive to slow but steady progress. With the right amount of pressure and challenges, this is a tailor-made Gap Year for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Jason&#8217;s class, I&#8217;ve gained valuable insights into digital media. Although collaborating on projects can sometimes be challenging, these obstacles are surmountable, and I genuinely enjoy the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I attend Aida&#8217;s class most frequently, and time always seems to fly by. The course offers endless English knowledge and countless ideas to explore. Far from finding this overwhelming, I relish the learning atmosphere. The ability to express myself humorously and interact with classmates boosts my confidence. Even though my English could be better, this is precisely what I aim to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, I cherish every moment at CDM. The stunning scenery of Vancouver and the friendliness of its people reassure me that choosing to come here was the right decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Yono Time flies like an arrow; it&#8217;s hard to believe I&#8217;ve already been at CDM for over one<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/2023\/11\/17\/my-pre-mdm-journey\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">My Pre-MDM Journey\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2418,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-studentexperience"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2404"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2404\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2405,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2404\/revisions\/2405"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.thecdm.ca\/techspeak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
