Reflective Journal, Week 3
Week 3 Journal Writing.
Education is the most important thing for me in my life. Some people told me that I was getting older and older each year but why I still studying by now. For me age is only the number that human can count but building my self with such education and see my self in a different level with profession employment is my main target in life.
Last semester I was studying AIN course and I find it very easy including theory and practical. Nevertheless this EAP course is the golden bridge for me to bring me across to the university to fulfill my dream. To me this course is the major path to lead me to my tertiary education. When I first started this course I think whether I could do it or not. I find it very difficult when came to the writing class as well listening class as I am very slow to pick up the main point from the context and very poor in analyzing and summarizing the main idea.
Last Thursday I was so down and hopeless when my writing teacher ask me to write about the deductive and inductive writing. I find it very hard to get started and even the last minute when I have to hand over my paper I still didn’t have the idea what to write about. In my community some people say that I am very bright, smart, clever and easy to pick up such a new skill but when came to this course I was not clever anymore. I thought about what make me became like a turtle and what barrier that stop me in my study.
I thought again maybe I was not familiar with an Australia learning style that newly introduced to me and because of my language barrier I am struggling badly. I’m so happy and feel encourage that my teachers understand our oversea student learning situation and style as well they are ready to train us to be a professional in the future.
At last I would say that life is not always as easy as I expected. Slowly and slowly I believe that if I try hard I could do it. My knowledge and my education level might not be sufficient as others but I believe deeply that where there is a will there is a way.
