It's Good to Know That

For the past twenty years in my life, I've been searching for something. Something that makes me special, something that make me different from others. But I didn't found it. I thought I was too normal, too normal that make me small, make me not as unique as other people do.

I then give up searching, and learn to accept things that I got, learn to seek for happiness in every imperfection. For so many years in my secondary school, I was happy. I'm simple, I do only things that I need to do and nothing else.

Then I graduated and go to university, far away from home. The first three months was a really hard time. I was homesick, I couldn't adapt the environment there, I had no friend and I was stressed. As the results, my skin started to be dried out, my hair falls, then I got acne all over my face etc etc etc..........

I knew that I need to do something to get rid of all these things, so I tried to work on my studies. I worked really hard and finally, I got it. I got a first class result for the first semester. And alot of precious experiences. I interviewed someone big from a multinational company, I did really well in my presentations skills and I built a really strong team with my teammates. Things started to change. I found out that I am good in speaking and I love it.

The second semester is even harder then the first one. Courses are harder and I couldn't co-operate well with my teammates, it isn't as good as the one in the first semester. Luckily, I've given the chance to work alone as individual. When you can't work well in team, it's very blessed to be given chance to work individually. And again, I proved that I can really do well in speaking, no matter in interview, presentations or debate. Here, I found my strength. I started to try to work it out. I volunteer myself to debate in class, and I apply for the debate club, I work hard for my presentations. I made it, although I screwed it up a couple of times, I fell, and I manage to stand up again. Here, I found my strength, and I start my journey, as a speaker.

Finally, there's something that makes me more than average, and it's really good to know that.
