I am going to be a 4th Semester student of English Education Department Undiksha. For me, It is not an achievement. I just passed the semester and learned something new. My struggle is not finished yet. I am still at the beginning and my knowledge is not good enough to face the world. During the 3rd semester, I did not just learn the theories, I also learned how to be a person who has a good character. Some of my lectures are my inspirations. They sometime tell about a motivated story, good advices, and brilliant quotes. I think that their struggle were so though and they have succeeded breaking any obstacles of their life when they were a student like me. These are two quotes I love from my lecturers.
Life is a matter of choice - Mr. Adi Jaya
I heard this quote from the lecture of morphology. All of my classmates were not serious following his explanation because no one could understand about the topic. Moreover, the book is difficult to understand. When he asked the students whether they understood or not, the student was merely quiet and no one could answer. Then, he said, "You are really hard to understand the topic. Most of lectures talk so much about you. You all are hard to teach. Well... I do not know how you learn. Now, I give you choices, first, study hard by your own, write some notes of my course to review the topic at home, and read the book. Second, you just enjoy your life without any efforts. Your life depends on your own because Life is a matter of choice."
Learning is a matter of willingness not merely talent - Ms. Lokita
This quote came from my reading 2 lecturer. It was the end of the semester and the time when all grades came up in the student's KHS. Some of my classmates got C in reading 2, a few of them got A and B, and the rests got D. My friends who got bad grades felt sad and down. A SMS from Ms. Lokita was received by Nara, the captain of the class. She said that those grades were because of your hard work, some of your friends maybe got bad grade. Be more seriously for the next semester. Learning is a matter of willingness not merely talent.
You know, I am still a small ant. I am not ready yet to face this world. I do not have enough weapons and have to reload more missiles to fight with obstacles in this life. I hope the quotes can help me to be more motivated.
