|Journey 6 - Get my P| A story of my effort

September 16th, 2022

I got my P - the certificate of completing my first year with 60 credits. I know that it is not such a long way, but I somehow felt a bit proud about my achievement. One year passed, I realized that my greatest achievement was not my P, but it was my courage to overcome all the hardships and crying nights with stress and homesickness. One year passed, I realized I grew and became more mature in my 18s as a first-year Communication student, which I cannot accept for the first 2 months since I still did not stop thinking that 'I am a CSPer'. One year passed, but every up and down moment of my 2021 is embedded in my mind and I do not want to forget about it. Keeping these moments is a motivation for me to make an effort every day at present.

'When you want to give up, remember why you started.' There is some time when I was skeptical about my ability to study and even my choice to study abroad. I want to give up, to be honest. However, I think about the really really hard time before, which challenged my patience, my courage, my persistence and my determination to leave Vietnam for the Netherlands in Covid-19 pandemic. This is my choice, and I need to take responsibility for it. I know that I'm studying what I really like, but sometimes, I just lose the balance and fall into the deep. I call it "experience of youth" 😬

Because we are young, our future dream are waiting for us ^^
