Experience : When I was 14 years old, I went to the Philipines

 

When I was 14 years old, I had an experience my life. My parents suggested to me go to the Philipines to learn English. At first, I really argued with my parents about that. Because I didn’t want to study during my vacation, I wanted to stay at my home and I wanted to play with my friends like other students. After I went to the Philipines, I realized that it was really wonderful and I could experience more things than my friends. Before I went to the Philipines, I thought I was really good at English because my score that were perfect. I soon realized that the test were really easy, so I could get perfect scores.

However when I went to the Philipines, I realized that I was not good at English beacause I couldn’t speak English fluently, so I was very embarrassed it was hard to listen when they talked. After I went to the Philipines, I was not afraid to talk to foreigners and it is easier to listen than before. Now I am more afraid of talking and listening because I was careless when studying English. Now I really thank my parents for suggesting that I go to the Philipines. I know it was not easy to go abroad to study because it was a great deal of money in those days. I think it was a good experience because it made me think differently. That means before I went to the Philipines, I was just a big frog in a small pond, but after that, I know I was not a big frog and it made me study English much more.

 

 

Experience : I failed to go to the college that I wanted to go to.

 

When I was 20 years old, I failed to go to the college that I wanted to go to. Before I was 20 years old, I had confidence that I could go to any college. I had good grades, which I thought would let me go to the college that I hoped. However I failed the advancement test, and I failed to enter the school that I wanted. After that day, I realized it was not easy to do something that I thought, and I was shy because I was ashamed to say that fact. I regretted that I did not do my best to the end. After that, I realized that it ain’t over till it’s over.
