RE: Why are students like this?

This sounds like it takes away from the progress the rest of the work team brings in. And like you said, they are given all the resources and support and somehow still blame others. Good luck to you 🍀🤞. I can imagine how draining it is working like this.

And you are right. I should focus on the positive things. A few students have come and reported what is happening on their group. Plenty are defending me, checking in on me and ensuring me that I'm doing everything possible to assist them.

I had a student tell me yesterday that I'm one of the people he looks up to in the academic world. The academic field humbles you, you can have a big ego, everyone is constantly learning and adapting. We all guide each other. And he's words to me was that some students will never be humbled. They have this idea that since they are doing a Master degree they are superior. And no one can teach you that, you have to realise yourself that once you burn a bridge, your on your own. But then you are also isolated and will never gain knowledge from others.

Have a nice day!

Yeah, draining and frustrating. Although, it always seems that these kind of people seem to flourish somehow... It's as if the person who shouts the loudest is always right.

True! Glad to hear that other students did in fact come to your defense so that should showcase your actual value compared to someone just shouting loudly/blaming others. I'm almost certain that you will have plenty of students messaging you later in life about the lasting impact you had on them as well.

I know what it took me around 5-10 years before I reached out to my previous lecturers about the lessons I learnt from them and my appreciation for all the effort they put into their lectures.

I'm one of those people who keep such messages 😅. I have a few from previous students that thanked me at the end of their studies. It proofs that what one does is impacting someone in a positive way.

It's true, some people who impacted my life only found out about it the day I graduatedmy master 😅. I send them all a personal not thanking them for the roles they played and what they gave me in terms of knowledge and lfe lessons.

I'm glad you reached out to them! I promise you they took it to heart and will for ever remember you.

True! And I am sure you will receive many more :)

Yeah, I'm sure they did!
