A few weeks back, I was asked to submit a CV (Curriculum Vitae) for a guest lecture. The invitation was a surprise and I was actually a bit apprehensive since I felt that I was not qualified enough to be invited as a lecturer for faculty members of other colleges. However, through the supportive comments of colleagues and the organizer, I accepted the invitation to lecture on Statistics and tried to make it easy.
Back to the CV, I prepared the usual Education, Career Experiences, and Interests. It was not much really, and a very short CV was submitted to the institution.
On the day of the talk, the head of their math department read the said CV in front of everyone to introduce me as the guest speaker, and I felt that I actually had enough achievements in life. Not as much as others but actually enough to qualify to be a speaker for forums.
I actually had been a panelist and statistician for research works. I have been involved in the thesis and dissertation writing of other people, myself included. And I have been a teacher for a time, not too long but enough to know how to hold a class' attention.
And the BEST part was being understood on what I was trying to put forward and being liked while doing it.
So to the Western Institute of Technology, College of Arts and Sciences Faculty, and their guests, Thank You very much for the invitation to share Statistics for Research on your forum.
This too was a milestone and an achievement for me.
I post an article when I am de-stressing ... :D
