 I failed in one of the unit courses whereby I didn’t get
a mark that was my target and performed below
average. In selecting our perceptions, the idea could
be right to ask which opinion is essential to hold
(Goguen, 2017).
 A quality world is an amalgamation of wants in the
form of picture album of the ideal world we want to
be in. In most of the times, I would like to be with
like-minded students who desire to have their brands
after finishing their course.

failing in one of the unit course by receiving a below
average mark and graduating with a top grade at the

we look for (Rouhollahi, 2016).

placed into our sensory systems. It moves
through our perception system where
knowledge filter processes it. There, a positive
or negative filter is made by value filter.

considered meaningful.
