Writing
Before studying writing, in my head, I thought that we would still have a choice to pick whether to do a narrative essay or a factual one. I was looking forward so bad to learn about it too but reality really hits hard. Never once in my life occur to me that I would pick a factual essay. Even if I had to choose between formal essay and factual, it'll be my last choice. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I hate doing it or anything but factual essay just isn't my fort and I knew that if we were to compete against everyone in my class, the last place would be waiting for me. Now that I'm here, I think writing is the most challenging subject I'll face for this foundation.
I'm not the brightest in class and I'm not very talkative in group discussions too. So whenever we have an assignment, and Miss Farah asks for any volunteers, it would always be the same group of people who'd share their answers. I'm not complaining but what I'm trying to say here is I'm really scared that people know my mistakes and I would always overthink things. I know that people say you learn from your mistake but I don't everyone to know mine. I hate that I'm not as bold as my other classmates, that I'm this weak person who's scared to even improve herself because of some lame excuse. Yeah, that's me. I just hope that I'm not too late to improve myself before the finals and I hope that in the next semester, we get to every subject, especially writing face to face. I just can't understand it through online and I need to have a private consultation.
Regardless of the hardships I face, I'm really grateful to have an awesome lecturer that is willing to sacrifice her night time and most of her free time just to guide us, especially when working on the writing assessment. I really respect Miss Farah for her dedication when teaching us till late night hours and even give us beneficial advices as well as sharing her life experience. I really hope next semester you'll be the one who teaches us writing again.
