When i entered my class full of local students i felt i was very very small. I felt hopeless, helpless and inferiority. I felt every failure. I tried to tell myself that i had to be strong but i couldn’t help. My heard was bouncing like a ball with a little boy. I was shaking during class and my head always told me that i couldn’t understanding it and i did.
I turned to many local students to help. At first, they were very helpful but due to their busy schedule i could not find access them especially at the end of the semester.
I know that i was a Psychology student and i understand about anxiety, depression and many other mental health issue but i couldn’t believe anxiety could cost me so much problem.
Now the second semester has started. I feel more secure, more ease. I could understand English more than the first semester, the hardest one in my life.
You were not alone because I was like that too when I was in New Zealand. I’m so glad u are getting better now and you will always get much more better from now on
!!!! sometimes I feel it’s not fair that we have to use English, not our language, here to communicate with other people or to read academic materials, why there was no a machine which can translate all those materials into Khmer and vice versa?
–
However, I’ve been here for more than four months I think, and having lived here especially with an aussie hubby builds up my confidence in communicating and in everything and I cannot see any problems if I want to go back to school and I cannot wait to do so one day! so I hope my dear friend, you will be better in everything day by day and hope you are enjoying your stay here!
Have a nice day and see u soon!
