CONNECTING TO EXCELLENCE A Message from the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences Professor David Tennant
Life is marked by rare moments, and success by triumphs through adversity. Throughout this unprecedented period in history, I have been inspired by many small successes; yet none have shone more brightly than stories of your resilience and dedication to your education. I congratulate you for being beacons of perseverance, and hope.

Why FSS? I got drawn into academia having left the PIOJ to complete my PhD. While working on the thesis, a position became vacant in the Department of Sociology, Psychology and Social Work, and I was asked to apply. The rest as they say, is history! I’ve remained in the Faculty because I enjoy lecturing and I’m invested in the growth of the Faculty. Life has also been good to me as it has brought many opportunities.

HOW TO CONNECT
WITH YOUR EXCELLENCE By Dr Caryl James Bateman Associate Dean, Undergraduate
It’s 5:45 Saturday morning, my alarm is beeping loudly, I reached over and turned it off. I slumped back onto my pillows, still feeling sleepy as if I had just gone to bed. I wanted badly to just lie here in the comfort of my bed. My mind started to wonder if only I could get 5 more minutes. I knew better than to entertain these thoughts as 5 minutes can turn into hours; resulting in me missing out on my early morning run. Excellence is not an easy task, it takes hard work. Even though excellence is within each and every one of us, we often “choose” to stay in the comfort of our beds. To be excellent you have to “choose” to step out of your comfort zone. I thought to myself, I just need to get to the field, once I am there, everything else will go according to plan. I rolled out of bed, stretched, and started to get ready. While getting ready, I reminded myself of my intentions to complete a minimum of 20 laps. I made it to the field and got out of my car. I looked up to the blue sky which had a scattering of white clouds. I'm here, the sun is on the rise, I could see its rays peeking through. There is a mild breeze that hits my face, I take in a deep breath and my lungs fill with fresh air. My sluggish body begins to feel more energized. Thinking about your long-term goals can help to get you out of bed. To connect to your excellence, think about your long-term goals. I scanned the breadth of the field, hmmm, 20 laps, this is beginning to feel more daunting. I started to have my doubts, I shook my head, trying to shake those thoughts from my head. I instead began to entertain the thought: “just one lap at a time” and let’s see where this goes. I leaned over and tightened the laces on my sneakers. I walked to the beginning of the track, squeezed the start button on my watch and started running.
To have doubts are pretty normal, they tend to show up when we set goals for ourselves. If we try to accomplish all our goals in one go, it can be intimidating and may affect our confidence. Instead, we should take our goals apart and make them become more manageable, that way they become easier to tackle. In order to connect with your excellence, shake off the doubts, face your goals fearlessly and proceed one step at a time. I easily completed the first 5 laps, now I am on to 10 laps, now 15. I began to think that 15 is good enough, I can stop here. Though tempting, I decided to shake those thoughts. I got to 18, now I have my last two laps. This is my moment to give it my all. I call it my “Kobe Moment”, I used Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Mentality to motivate me. I rehearse in my mind over and over the word “dominate”. I feel fired up, with the lifting of my legs, the swinging of my arms, I use all of the energy I had left in me and gave it my best shot.
Excellence is not about complacency. It is about being resilient, digging deep and finding your inner strength. A role model can be helpful especially when we connect and try to imitate their strategies. I made it to the end of my 20 laps, breathless, I hunched over, held on to my knees and tried to catch my breath. I hit my watch to see my time. My friend comes up beside me he says: “I am about to finish my last 5 laps; do you want to come join me?”. I looked up at him with the little energy I have and said to him: “Let’s do this!” Connecting with your excellence means being extraordinary. You should always assess your accomplishments, knowing that you always have the potential to do better. It is the use of your unwavering determination and commitment, that helps you connect with your excellence.
