Life choices.
Every year since I started elementary school I've been taking every year courses of French and English, but I always thought that I was lagging behind. In Middle School things got better, the principal divided the group in two sections: Intermediate English and Advanced English. I went to Advanced English, which made me feel comfortable with myself and anxious to prove that I could be better every class if I wanted to.
I never felt pasion for languages, until I got into High School; English in UNAM's High schools is not great, you have to take an exam in the school to get a better level, teachers, classmates and even a better environment. I took advanced courses since 11th grade, it always made me feel empowered. I was searching for something that could defy me, and at that moment I found it.
Through first and second semester I had many ups and downs, I got depressed and felt like my world was ending, I wanted to switch majors, I really needed to start all over. But, as everything in life, the most difficult experience that I have ever lived through, ended. Nevertheless, pain is still there and I still fight it every single day.
In third semester (currently studying), I wanted and needed to find myself, to know who I was without my major problems, and I started by taking the exam to study at ENALLT, specifically English. I chose it because I want to be certified, and I think that before you start with a whole different language, you need to master one first. When I saw my results I started to believe in myself again. After that, it all started to fall into place, currently I have the best teachers that my faculty could provide me, I am exercising, I study at all time and I am getting awesome results.
My major inspiration to continue with the things that I have been building is my future, my self-realization, my hunger of offering this world better things and the power that eventually I will have.
I feel like I can breathe again, I feel empowered again.
I'm glad to know this class is helping you to get on your feet again and keep getting better, giving you the power and trust in you abilities.
ResponderBorrarDepression and university are a very bad mix, I personally know but it looks like you are doing your best and things are going well for you. I hope you get certified soon and wish you the best of luck.
I think you are very brave and also a fighter. Keep going that way and things are going to be better.
ResponderBorrarI think the most common in the teenage life is not feel right or maybe feel confused and stressed out. But you can fight with all things and start again, congratulations.
ResponderBorrarLife is full of ups and downs but the most important here is that everyday you learn how to find yourself and the things that make you feel more comfortable with it.
ResponderBorrarKeep fighting everyday.
It is great that you continue improving yourself, as you said "things go better" and will be better. I wish you the best.
ResponderBorrarI'm so glad you feel empowered now!. As someone who went through a deep depression for over two years, I can tell you that as long as you are patient with yourself there's always a way to feel that sense of accomplishment again and again. Life can be really harsh at times, so I'm glad you've found that mechanism within you to bring you back onto the saddle.
ResponderBorrarKeep up the good work!
It's amazing you are back on your feet again! When you mentioned not being sure about your major I really felt that, but it's good that you are finally finding yoursel in life. Sincerily, I wish you the best.
ResponderBorrarWhat a story! I have felt that (in other circumstances) it's horrible. I'm glad to read you're better now. Everyone is fighting everyday, you beat depression that's a first step.
ResponderBorrarSo french too?
ResponderBorrarWow, sound like you have a virtue with languages.
University is always a big change and challenge... I'm glad that you faced it properly. Remember that life will always bring you up with new obstacles and motivation is a good tool to deal with them.
Hope that you can get that certificate and also for french language.
Regards!
It's hard but it's not impossible, thanks for share, keep going! I promise you that this course is just the beginning of a lot of goals that you can reach!
