Just Go With The Flow

Assalamualaikum and Hi everybody. My name is Nawal Shahidah Binti Yusri. My matric number is 66923. All of you can call me Nawal. I am from Nibong Tebal, Pulau Pinang.

            What is counselling? In my mind before what I learn about counselling is to give advice to the person whose having problem but when I started learn counselling it is totally wrong. Honestly, I never dream or think to take this course and to be a counsellor. This is because since I was in kindergarten I have a dream and I want to be a teacher but did not happen. My destiny does not allow me to be a teacher maybe in this course I can do the best.

            Actually, when the result of UPU come out on the day I got this counselling course, I feel a little bit frustrated because I did not get the course that I want. So, I tell to myself everything is going to be okay and I can do it. At the same time, I feel so sad because I need to stay far away from my family. Before this I never get separated from my family and home. This is the first time I need to more independently without depending on my parents. For example, I need to manage my money and time on my own. So, I learnt something when I stay far away from my family.

            When the first class started I felt very nervous because I did not know much about this course. I started feel comfortable to learn about this course. At the same time, I am so excited because I get know friends from different ethnicity and places. But I cannot run from assignments. When the class started I enjoyed learning because this course is interesting. In addition, I can meet a lot of people from other background with different ages.

            In conclusion, sometimes we need to go with the flow but at the same time we need to accept the decision. I learnt that we cannot judge people based on their appearance. That all from me. Thank you.
