Self-Evaluation

Language

My strong points as an English speaker are being able to make an English sentence without thinking so much and some confidence in talking in English.

My weak points as an English speaker are not being able to understand others sometimes in English and wrong accents.

The English language is important / not important for me because I have many opportunities to talk with foreign people here.

Being multilingual means you can communicate in more than one language, but you don7t have to be as well as native speakers.

Academic Life

My strong points as a university student are being able to manage my time and keeping my grades.

My weak points as a university student are not earning any money and missing opportunities to join in activities beyond this university.

My most improved point over the last school year is making a plan on study.

My goals for next year are joining in further activities like a research experience program.

In the next four years, I am looking forward to deciding my future and finding a satisfying way to live my life.

Life in General

My strong points as a human being are being curious and trying to do the best in my interest.

My weak points as a human being are sometimes getting overworked and being not good at refusing an offer.

I am happy about many people with me who always help me.

I am sorry about that I haven’t do favor for those who have helped me.

I get frustrated with people who judge things only by their perspectives and neglect other opinions.

If I see Mario again in twenty years, I will let him write a blog this time.

The meaning of life is how many dreams you can make come true.

Life is a queue

Life is a queue

You make a queue and look for something awesome

You might feel a long queue is somehow troublesome

People are busy and they like to rush

No time to wait for even buying a toothbrush

Have you imagined what you can see while waiting?

You may see some businessmen who never stop walking

But outside is quiet just the sunlight is coming

When you look at the head of the queue, you miss a fine daily thing

Cheater jumps ahead in the queue and get his stuff

He’s proud of himself and people make a fuss

Who can realize there’s no reason to get mad?

After he leaves a queue, what’s left for this greed?

At least from a queue we can enjoy a good view

How come you think of ending your life up?

And what’s actually waiting for you ahead the queue?

You never see because the crowd will be an obstacle

So curious guys are excited and think what will be there

Or you lose interest and give up waiting here

Now finally you could finish the long queue

Then think about what you saw from the queue

Vivid memories shall come to your head

And to the silent world you go ahead

My health issue

When I was an elementary school student, I was told that I have an enlarged tonsil.

              An enlarged tonsil is a somehow common type of disease. A tonsil is an organ which is around the end of the mouth, in other words, the beginning of your throat. Some of you should have been warned like ‘Don’t breathe with your mouth open. The virus and germs will be on the mucous membrane of your throat.’ So in my case, since my tonsil is larger than other people, my throat tends to catch these virus and germs and be infected by them if I breathe with my throat.

              I recognize that’s why I’ve tended to catch a cold than others. I tried to make mouths close as much as possible. But while I’m sleeping, it’s pretty difficult. My parents consider asking the doctor about this problem. However, according to study, the easiest way is an operation, and generally the tonsil is getting smaller and it’ll be the size of the average by the time you become adult.

              Since my parents didn’t want to make me take a needless operation because of the risk (it was pretty small though) and the money we need for that, I didn’t anything with that. And I haven’t seen my doctor for a long time, so even I’m not sure if it’s been cured or not. But I’m sure I get a cold less times than I was a child.

              So I’ve thought an enlarged tonsil is not serious disease at all. However, according to my research, I found out it can be the cause of SAS, sleep apnea syndrome, which may cause your death. It’s the syndrome where you stop breathing for a while when you sleep. And an enlarged tonsil can be fall down and make your throat stuck because the tension of your muscle is released while you’re sleeping. Especially, for fat people (they usually have narrow throat), an enlarged tonsil can be a serious problem.

              For those people, sucking out their fat or cutting some parts of their tonsils will be the best treatment.

              In addition to those, an enlarged tonsil can cause some problem on drinking or swallowing because a large tonsil may bother the foods in a throat. This may lead you to malnutrition, so you’ll need to take treatment like what I mentioned above in this case.

              Fortunately, I was not in that serious case. But we need to remember your small health problem can be serious.
