APPRECIATING

Hello again readers! I, Novenna Amanda Binti Lorensius Amabajo with matric number 67044 was back again! Literally, I have been here, in UNIMAS for almost 3 months and obviously I have created a lot of memory here. So, I wanted to tell that I felt very happy and grateful to be here. I met people that are very kind and appreciate each other. It was around two weeks ago, during mid-term holiday that my friends that I just met in UNIMAS made a birthday surprise for me in front of my house. We went for an outing for the whole day and I did not expect for them to do any surprises as we were all tired from swimming and eating. After they sent me home that night, they called me to go out as they told that I forgot my stuff in the van. And I was very surprised as they brought cakes and sang a birthday song for me.

I often think that no one really remember about myself as I like to make myself invisible to everyone. However, this event that happened to me, made me feel appreciated and by just remembering this, it was able to make me shed my tears. Then, I realize that I should also appreciate other people just like the way my friends appreciated me. I am a human that gets angry and annoyed by people as well. However, some of them thought me to become more patient and be more understanding. From them, I learnt to love people around me and made me realize that even some of my simple action can actually brings happiness to them.  

          I realize that I am gaining more new friends since I get to know them as they introduce me to their friends as well. Besides, I became more confident in myself. They always convince me that I am capable of doing something new. For example, singing in choir. And yes, I was able to do it! Last but not least, they are very supportive and by having this positive vibe, I can look things in a better way. Right now, I am able to think of the pros and cons before coming up with a decision. That's all from me. THANK YOU!
