This semester in college
It’s my second semester taking my classes in college. Speaking the truth, starting this semester was hard for me, especially with this English class. The first time I saw the assignments we needed to do online and in class, and how much reading and writing we needed to do, I was confused! In the beginning, I spent about 8-10 hours a day doing my assignments. It was hard, because it was hard to translate from my language to English, sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn’t make sense. The meaning got lost in translation. It seemed like I would never finish this, but what could I do…I said to myself, I’m not the first or the last, everybody is going through this.
By the way, I am fine now, a little nervous about finishing the research papers, and the other essays. I chose this hard class, and it is challenging and pushing me to do my work better, and I am trying. I stay motivated because I have a very clear goal in my heart to achieve success, each time I feel like I will lose it, I think of the outcome of reaching my goal for myself and my family, and know that I will.. It was very hard for me to come back to school the second time, as all my professional licenses of 12 years of education, could not be converted to American medical licenses. We sometimes get pushed to square one to start all over again, but at least we can imagine we are still moving forward. Regardless of the set backs, you need to be sure of what you want, and to push yourself to get it.
What a great attitude you have! Good for you! Love that your dog gets along with your cat too.
ReplyDeleteYou are soo right, I will never give up and I know you are a strong person by what you have said. Don't be discouraged by how confusing some tasks might be. Just remember, if other people can do it, so can you.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it. You already write better than some who grew up using English.
