Just to cheer my self up
Whenever I feel that my academic work is an intensely difficult job and that I could almost swear that it's impossible, I always go back that memory when I was still on my grade school.
It was when I find it immensely impossible to memorize all the instructions on how to Open a Word document, Save a Word document, Close a Word Document and the like word per word on and in order. I had a grade of 79 on Computer and it placed me on a predicament where I may not be able to graduate with any honors at all. So, I had to get the best grade I can on my exams which is no multiple choice, neither fill in the blanks nor matching type but the write-all-you-know-on-a-piece-of-paper type. I remember seeing my self s someone who has accomplished great obstacles and challenges in life and then when I looked at my Computer Reviewer, I said to my self, this is nothing compared to that (although all my insides churned in protest). That time, Computer subject was very difficult and I could swear, it's impossible for me to pass. Well, in the end, I did not graduate as the class valedictorian.
A few years later, when I was on my first year in college, I found my self facing the very same lessons on How to Open, Save, Close a Word document etc. I was already 17 years old and I definitely knew how to do all those stuffs. Well, technically, when I was in grade school, I also knew how to do it in actual but putting them into words is entirely different. Though, I did not graduate as class valedictorian when I was in grade school (because that's a different story), I got 99% remark on my Computer test. And that day in college that I faced the same lesson, I had a seat mate and friend who never had any lessons on how to use in Computer. Good thing, I can still recite the instructions on how to Open, Save, Close a Word Document, etc. step by step.
It's amazing how my past struggles helps me and other people around me to get through with my and their present struggles.
As of now, I am in one huge dilemma over my undergrad study that I cannot finish. I could swear it's impossible to finish. But then I wonder, what would I think about it, ten years from now?
