English and Me

Grade three of elementary school was the first time I learnt English and falling love with this course. If you love something, you cannot just say it you must do something about it, that’s what I did in my younger age when I felt that I was not doing anything to master this English course. I thought I can master it without spending time learning. I was wrong. Time went on and on. I graduated from elementary school, then went to middle school. It was getting worse when my family moved to our village Waropen. Our school hadn’t many teachers for subjects like chemistry, computer and English so it was hard to learn and upgrade our knowledge and skill about some of those courses. We had an English teacher in our last year, but that was not so helpful to have had this teacher. Then we graduated without mastering many of lesson that we needed to know. I went to one of the good schools in Jayapura when I went to high school. In this place, we had all the teachers and the facilities we needed. even i stayed in dormitory. My English was getting better there. Also in that time I loved watching movies every Saturday when I had the chance to go home. I will stopped by in a CD rental shop and bought a CD or DVD to watch a movie at home using my CD player. I like to watch Disney, action movies like Avenger, comedy, drama and many more. The first time I watched the movies, it was hard for me to understand what they said in the movie because of the language, so I bought the CD/DVD that had subtitles below. I did this for a few years until I no longer needed subtitles for some movies that were easy to be understand by me. But I graduated from another school in Waropen because I had moved in my second year. I continue my schooling by going to college. It's now confusing to think why I should be taking nursing school if I love English. At that time, I thought I can go to faraway lands and the course wouldn’t matter. I took this course for 5 grades until I realised what I wanted in my life, so I moved to literature English but it was too late. My family had issues that forced me to move back home, so when I returned I knew what I wanted and why I should choose this course. The first is because I love English language and now, I will do many things to master it. Second, is because of my family background. I want to give them a better life by working in the place that I make a lot of money. I want to go abroad, because the dollar is bigger than the rupiah. They say I can go abroad if I am good at English. The last reason is one day when I am rich enough and have a better life, I will help others in many ways and also become an English teacher in my village. this is my first written story that i just found ๐Ÿ˜ say yes, just do it. God knows the best.
