I can some up my life in 3 words which are "Life Goes On", I read this quote in my first ESL class. There are always good and bad experiences in life and that is how you get learn. You have to make mistake in order to learn about it and I was one of them. I learned after making mistakes. I didn't knew english when I came to canada. Imagine you are in a country where first language is english but it's your third language, how would you react. It was pretty tough to actually go through that time because you don't know what people are saying to you and you are trying to guess from their gestures and behaviour. It was fun in e.s.l because I got to work with people who knew my language and they could interprate and explain me what was happening. They tought me different words. I learned by speaking more and more. Before I was not confident while speaking english I would just go quiet rather then speaking because I was scared that my classmates will make fun of me. Some of my classmates were really nice and they always helped me and asked me to speak up so I can improve my speaking skills. But I would just be quiet rather then speaking. Then I thought that I am wasting my time for being shy, I have to speak up in order to learn more. I made mistakes but I was worest then what I can say today. That's why I guess e.s.l made me tough and that was the best ecperience of learning new language with new people. It was fun being in e.s.l but now I think I have to move on without it's help so I can be more better then what I am.

Sameen,
It is very hard to speak in a new language because we know we are going to make mistakes! However, the only way we learn is to make mistakes, so speak away!
