TEACHER:
Can you break this down into something that can be achieved short-term as well as long-term?  I think that someone who is professional in using the latest technology in factories would start by studying something.  This person as a student would be really active in class, asking questions, doing extra reading, doing more than what your average person does when they study.  This person would probably be different in many ways from your average first year student.  Tell me about these things.  Don't focus for now on the long-term goal.  Focus on the now and what you can be doing today and for the next five weeks.

I would like to be a good communicator before graduating from Bahrain polytechnic to do will in job meeting and got a good job that lets me be knowledgeable and people like listening to my speeches.
