26, 2014 New motivation Writing has long been my actual phobia.It is simply due to the fact that to me, there is no such thing as being educated in a gifted environment Therefore, the task of writing really getS me down In other words, the instant being required to perform an essay as well as describe a chart , graph or whatever, I feel as though I am going to be passing through hell or sort of things like that.Time and time again, I liken myself to my fellow about their perfect learning medium where they are allowed access to great method of learning When it comes to term of writing, I have a feeling of envy and utter to myself that I am underpreviledged.They are taught the very comprehensive know-how However, in my belief, there will be light at the end of the tunnel Come what may,Things will look up in no uncertain terms There is evidence that today, my teacher in charge complimented me on my progessive writing I was just like on cloud nine, you cannot imagine how jubilant it was I did nothing but overcome with happiness At heart, it is not easy at all to make progress in writing which I find most problematic On no account have I allowed myself to be complacent on what I’ve done I no longer hold fear for that task It works like magic, all my endeavour has turned out to be fruitful Yeah, I will throw my energy into it and by no means attach to writing :) • Tagged
