The most
challenging difficulty I faced I life must has been the time when I thought I
was prepared for the High School application test in Taiwan. During ninth grade
as the test date neared all students were very nervous and all started to plan
out their review schedule accordingly. Because I missed the seventh grade school
year in Taiwan, I really do not have a appropriate schedule for reviewing. Even
when I tried to concentrate on reviewing, I started to get frustrated because
there were so many questions I do not know how the answer due to my lack of
learning in seventh grade. I then hypnotized myself that I will know the answer
just by “reading” questions without doing them, and I will just know as time
goes on or when the test date arrives. I was also somewhat influenced by my
peers that the test is going to be easy; this made persuade and soothed me even
more that everything is going to be fine. However, when the test came, I soon
regretted that I have not put all my heart into reviewing. I felt like I have been
awaken from a dream; I was forced to face the truth of needing a good reviewing
plan. In the next two months, I gathered myself up and wrote a complete preview
plan. I worked accordingly o the plan and made devotion to abstinence of using
the computer and watching TV. My plan worked well. On my second and last high
school application test, all subjects of the test improved. This taught me to
face any dilemmas in life instead of trying to escape by consoling yourself;
only by confronting unpleasant truths and weighting both sides of an issue can
one clearly understand the choices and make the right decisions.
