ACTIVITY 2
MY LIFE AS A PENCIL
As I experience growing up and learned new experiences, I feel like a brand new, newly-sharpened pencil. I feel proud and confident everytime I completed new task adequately, after I finish it I would try do do it again as many time as I can until I feel that I've done my best.
I can think of this as my positive trait, but sometimes it would also be one of my flaws. Because like a pencil, life wouldn't always be perfect, same as the times when a pencils' lead brakes unexpectedly.
Times like these feel as if youve been betrayed by the world, at a crucial moment, when you need your talent the most, it fails you. These times left my heart broken, failure at these times would linger on my mind for a long time.
But life must go on, you don't throw a new pencil because the lead broke, I pick myself up, and sharpened my mind. I need to encourage and remind myself, that success isn't built upon success and that success is built upon layers of failures.
As a hand guides pencil, I believe that there's always someone out there who's guiding me, that I can still erase my mistakes and retrack my path. And so I continue to write my own story.
