Introduction

This tutorial guides participants in the "River of Life" project, part of the Kebekerjaan theme at SMK Wira Harapan. The activity encourages students to reflect on their past, present, and future, helping them understand their motivations and aspirations. By creating a visual representation of their life journey, students can identify their potential and set goals for their future.

• List Motivations: Consider what drives you based on these experiences. Ask yourself:
  • What challenges have you overcome?
  • What achievements are you proud of?

Step 2: Analyze the Present

  • What are your skills and strengths?
  • What opportunities are available to you right now?
• Express Your Desires: Write down your current goals and aspirations. Ask yourself:
