Courage

When I first entered Korean school, I felt scared. I didn't know the language nor did I know anybody there. It was like entering a whole different world. I felt courageous because I knew that I couldn't back out of this situation, and I knew, that if quit, I would have no where else to go back or forward to. Now that I look back, I'm glad that I went through it because if I didn't, then I wouldn't be where I am today. I would have to say that being in Korean school was one of the hardest times of my life, and the toughest experience that I went through. I had no friends that I could share my emotions with, and even if I could, they wouldn't understand. It was really emotionally hard for me. I felt so frustrated. My social life, had just crumbled. I had friends, but even if I did, like I said, we couldn't communicate. Then, my grades were going down as well. I didn't understand what was going on, and I was failing all my classes, except English. I understood then that communication is important and I also knew that everybody is good at something. Even in the worst situations, and you feel like you can't do anything, theres always and up side. In time, my friends had supported me and helped me through the year, and by the end, I was pretty fluent in the language, and my grades were pretty good. Through this experience I found about myself, that I'm scared of taking new chances, but when you put me in the situation, I can handle it. I can find an upside to the situation, and get my self out of it. In the end, I also felt courageous the moment I came into TCIS, because I really went through everything even though it was tough, and I faced the many obstacles life threw at me.
