I chose:
â...Adaptable and teachable
â...Hardworking and disciplined
My mom always tells me "Don't be afraid of facing and learning new things. Never give up on learning, discovering." Being open-minded and hardworking in her whole life, my mother has always been a model of mine.
One year ago, I came to Palau by myself. My adventure journey started right here. No family, no friends. I was this pale indoor girl who couldn't speak English fluently in this English-Palauan speaking country. Everything was a challenge.
In my first class, I couldn't catch up of what teachers said. Then I would record my classes and review them again and again. The first time I wrote a 10 pages essay, I wasn't good. I got a discouraging C+. But at the end of the semester, I got and A. That is the result of countless reading and learning, asking for help and advices.
And the first time I joined church, I was amazed by the spirit. So I asked missionary to teach me. And I started learning gospel by looking up every words in the dictionary: thou,thy,thee...And slowly, I can share my thoughts in church.
In this one year, I was chosen to represent my class in student forum. I joined governmental meeting as an English interpreter; and I am on the honor list of my school. The most importantly, I became a member of church and received the greatest joy ever in my life.
One person can only have one cultural background, know one language at first. However, a open mind help me to discover; and hardworking help me to achieve. And I will keep discovering and keep achieving.
