Though I know what I am capable of more than anybody else, it is not easy to judge myself where I stand. In 2012, I came from Ethiopia right out of high school, and by the time I arrived in the US, my English writing and speaking skills were very poor. I came here to attend a college, so I studied English grammar, writing and reading books for one full month and I took the non-native placement test at Montgomery College. Surprisingly, my efforts paid off, I was accepted to take credit classes and I began attending college after another month. Since then, I have taken quit few English classes and I have improved my English skill very …show more content…

Although my grades were not always consistent, I never earned less than a B for a final grade in my English courses. Often my instructors privately told me that my papers were the best in the class and shared my work with others.

However, as the weeks progressed and the weeks went by, I’ve slowly gained the respect that English deserves.

In my communications class I was asked to create a presentation that was called my story. As I thought about the assignment I thought critically about what I wanted to put in it and why I thought it deserved a spot in my story. Then I immediately thought about my childhood like where I went to preschool, elementary school and then my teen years like where I went to high school and what sports I played. One of the requirements for the presentation was to be narrating in the background for each slide. Pearson, Nelson, Titworth, and Hosek (2016) say the definition of narrating is “the oral presentation and interpretation of a story, a description, or an event; includes a dramatic reading of prose or poetry” (p.343).

Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it.
