topic : the biggest obstacle i have had overcome
Life seems to be full of obstacles that God created to challange our toughnesses. Ssuccesses do not come without obstacles on the way. I have experienced a lot trouble in studying the new language. For those who speak English as the second language, English is not simple language that can be learned in couple days.
In the first year, I barely understand the conversation of people around me. Their conversations were so fast for me to catch up, yet I pretended that I understand them clearly. I laughed along the joke that I did not even find the humor of it. I had the fear which obsessed me during my first year. A fear of not belonging to the group, and being laughed at for not speaking English made me hesitated to speak. I could not even pick up the phone because I know that on the other line someone will speak English to me. I did not do well at school either. I failed most of subjects that require reading skill such as history, government etc. This essay probably is not written without the kindness of my host mom. She helped me go through single step in the process of writing an essay, helped me see every mistake I usually make. She took me through the tough time. I could not get where I am right without.
The biggest obstacle comes from within not without. The fear of facing my weakness made English my biggest obstacle. I would never learned anything if I have not conquered my fear. Everyone has his or her own obstacle with a little effort every obstacle could be overcame.
