REFLECTION

Here we are. In my last assignment of the semester for this particular subject. Here I am, sitting in
front of a blinking computer trying to figure out what have I achieved in the last month. Sure, I’ve
learned a lot of things I thought I had learned in the past, and surprisingly I hadn’t. But, what
else?...

Here I am, sitting in front of my computer, not sure if this assignment is what I’m supposed to
write about. Should I be writing about how I feel right now, given the tragedy that just happened?
Or Should I focus on the assignment, no matter how alienated I feel from it?... My head is not in
the right place, and I hope you (Miss) could understand that.

But they said life keeps rolling, no matter who doesn’t… So here I go…

What I’ve learned is a significantly amount of terms I’d taken for granted. I mean, yeah, I supposed
I should’ve known them, but I realized I didn’t. I thank you for that. I have also learned the
extensive grammar I was avoiding. I thought that was only necessary for those who are writers, or
journalists, but DUH, obviously a Doctor will need it too if it’s his/her plan to work out of the
country. I’ve learned about the way I can apply all that knowledge right away. Actually, I hope I’m
doing it right now. (I promise I’m not using Google Translator).

Where should I improve?... Well, I guess that is obvious. The commitment to any subject should be
my philosophy. I know that. But, and by no means I’m making an excuse, it tends to get hard when
you think you have “better things to do, than to re-learned English”. I know I’m wrong. I do. Is just
that, sometimes, that thought slips into my mind. Won’t happen again… I hope so… Just kidding, it
won’t.

I guess that’s it. That’s all the ideas my brain can construct at the moment. I’m really sorry if this is
not as professional as you would expect, but it is the best I can do.
