More iReports you should see
come and think about my problems
This story is about me who was willing to take a challenge to study English. In order to study English, I came over the Pacific, and I remember the first time arriving in Canada vividly.
A lot of curiosity about culture, food, people, and activities could make me happy then.
But spent time a lot here, I felt sadness, loneliness. Also first time I had confidence had gone somewhere. I thought lack of confidence cycled every 3 or 4 months.
Every time this came to me, I felt frustrated.
Even now, I’m frustrated because it’s happening to me.
Nowadays, I became an invisible person in class.
I tried to follow the class even though it’s too hard.
Every body don’t know how much I felt isolated during the class.
No one knows how secluded I feel during class.
So I try to remember what my parents told me when I was young.
“Make hay while the sun shines for studying”.
I often listened to these words but now I feel it in my bones.
Just a few years ago, I could survive with younger generation than me during the competition.
But now, I’m losing many things than I’m gaining.
It means, two things learned but three things lost.
As much as I’m getting old, studying is way too hard.
The famous quote says, “Keeping your previous knowledge is the more important than leaning new things”.
Maybe this famous quote is for me because I have been struggling with the new language English since I came here.
Anyway, from now I fill you in about my serious problem.
In fact, I have a dilemma whether I have to get a diploma or certificate.
For one month, the class was great and I enjoyed myself with classmates.
But nowadays, the competitions with other students, who learn quicker than me, make me feel goofy.
So, that’s why I have to be serious now to get the diploma or certificate.
The bottom line is like this.
My English is enough to get a certificate but is not enough to get a diploma. So, do I have to get a diploma even though I cannot do well? Or do I have to get a certificate proudly? It’s that my problems, that I get a diploma shamefully or get a certificate proudly? If you were me, which is better? Which is more worth taking? A diploma or a certificate?
