My life in Canada.


My life in Canada was not what I expected. After I got accepted into college and I had to moved to Canada, I was overcome with joy wanting more out of life, because it was an opportunity of a lifetime to study in another country.When I came to Canada my struggle began and my world was falling apart.My life in Canada without my family was a kick in the stomach everytime I think about it. Because I have no job and I had so much to do when I was in school at the end of the day when I return home to my apartment I was lonely because my family was not with me.When I came to think about it, life where I came from was wonderful in every way I can think about.I was a grade 4 teacher with dreams and hopes of go to Teachers Training College and I was planning to get married in Winter 2009.My life in Canada became even more hard when I had finally gotten a job after 4 months.Because I had to work atleast 30 hours a week and do 6 classes every week with the addition of assignments and home work to submitted almost everyday.Sometimes, I would fall asleep in class or forgot what I had to do or when I had a test. Many of my teachers were understanding and encouraging. But I had to start picking up my weight with my school work because I pay 4 times what a domestic student would pay to go to school. After my second semester I was doing well and I had a lot more awarness of my surroundings and what I had to do to stay ahead of all the loneliness and negatives from others.However,I am in my final semester and I am feeling tired,confused and myself esteem is very low. Because I am putting down myself and I feel I do not have what it takes to reach the end. I have 11 more weeks to go ........do I have what it takes or not..........will I achieve it or .......?

Today

Today was an extraordinary day. I am so full of energy after my difficult time accepting t he fact that I am not doing well in class. Today I woke up to a positive start remember the positive words of advice that an intelligent individual gave to me yesterday," Don't give up because you sacrifice a lot to reach where you are today but you need to take care of your self first and foremost".

As today is ending in a classroom for me I have once again felt disappointed with my home work,but after I spoke to my teacher where I went wrong in my home work her encouragement has an positive impacted on me.I am ending my day with hope for a better tomorrow and a start to new beginnings in the preformance in my studies.As an International student I will make not only my teacher and family pround of me but MYSELF.

Today is an okay day because there are many people who have it worst than me. Today for me is a positive start to something I want to accomplish at the end of my semester.

Wondering If I'll make it

I am a college student who is struggling with work and studies at this very moment.Wondering if I'll make it to the end of this semester with a pass to make everyone proud of me.Then if I do make it will I'll even get a job that will be in my field.Wondering if I'll make it is something I'll never know until this semester ends.Wondering if I'll be able to submit all my assignments and group projects on time and if I'll study enough to pass my exams, so I'll not have to repeat any class.Wondering if I'll make it in the world of work when I am finish with college.
