One day while I was in my
room, my Dad suddenly walked in
and told me, today at dinner I am going to tell you something really important.
I was so confused because I did not know what he was talking about. Nervously I
waited until dinner. Finally when we were eating he told me, “We are going to
New Zealand next year to learn English and to learn a new culture for us”. Stupidly
I said to him, “Are you crazy I don’t want to miss one of my last years in
school with my friends and also I am really bad at speaking English”. So
finally I said to him “You can go alone if you want to”. Suddenly when I had
finished he stood up and walked to his room and after that we didn’t talk about
it for a month.
After a month I talked to him and I told him that I had been
thinking and I regretted about what I had said. Eventually I told him that I
wanted to go. After almost four months we left Argentina and we came here. I
was so nervous because I didn’t know how I was going to survive without
speaking English in the school. After I had been one week in New Zealand I started
school. In my first day when I went to the school I tried to do my best to not
be nervous but I couldn’t. When I entered my first class I had to talk in front of all
the class to do a presentation about myself, but when I started I hesitated and
my mouth became so dry I couldn’t talk
so the teacher had to explain to all the class that I was from Argentina and I
didn’t know too much English. After that
I started studying English the hardest as I could and after 6 months I began to
understand more.
After the 7 and a half months that I had been living here I finally
decided to leave the school and to try to improve my English more here in the
Language Centre.
I think that this saying that I have chosen can illustrate all
my history because I ventured a lot in this year but I think that I have
already gained more than what I ventured. So I would like to change this saying
to “something ventured, something gained”.
It was wonderful story, I thought, you are one person, Who are so brave and ready to encounter new thing all the time broo
ReplyDeleteI also believe the saying a lot, and I also have venture in New Zealand. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel. Nobody want to miss the last year in high school with friends. It was the hard time for you to pass everything like this but you are so brave! You are so young and have the opportunity to improve everything you want. It's nothing venture, nothing gained in your story.Good luck to you. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that you've already lived in New Zealand for 7 months. The saying is suited to your experience so much.
