A Memorable Experience That Changed My Perspective

A Memorable Experience That Changed My Perspective


Before:

Being reliable is one thing that I love. Do something that not all people can do and I can learn from teaching others. Since elementary school, I have been that one. Sometimes I feel not really needed by others, but still, I can admit it. Until I got a scholarship to study in China. I study another major that is different from my major, not really different but still different. There I am nobody, I don’t have the knowledge. So I need to learn from zero. Because of it, I should be grateful, but I don’t know why I’m not really can admit it. I just feel like there is a denial in my heart about other people. I realize that I can’t be like that. So I push myself to admit it and learn it better. So yeah, that’s a memorable experience for me that I realize I’m not special. There are a lot of people out there more smarter than me, more diligent than me, and more. I’m not giving up of course, that one makes me stronger to be better.


After:

Being reliable is something I have always valued. I love doing things that not everyone can do and enjoy the process of learning by teaching others. Since elementary school, I have often been the person people relied on. Sometimes, I felt unneeded or unappreciated, but I could still accept it and move on.

Everything changed when I got a scholarship to study in China. I had the opportunity to study a major that, while related to my original field, was still quite different. In this new environment, I was a nobody. I didn't have the knowledge or skills others seemed to possess. It was a humbling experience, as I had to start from zero and learn everything from scratch.

At first, I struggled to be grateful for this opportunity. Deep inside, I felt a sense of denial, as if I couldn't fully accept relying on others to teach me. But over time, I realized that this mindset was holding me back. I pushed myself to embrace the situation, accept my shortcomings, and commit to learning with an open mind.

This experience taught me an important lesson: I am not as special as I thought. There are many people out there who are smarter, more diligent, and more capable than I am. However, instead of feeling discouraged, this realization motivated me to work harder and strive to be better.

This journey of self-discovery and growth remains one of the most memorable and transformative experiences of my life. It taught me humility and resilience, which I carry with me to this day.
