Yesterday, one of my friends texted me that my article was found in the Mindanao Times newspaper.
Actually, I was very busy with my out-door shooting in Jacks Ridge restaurant, somewhere in Davao. I was quite frustrated about the requirement of the non-linear video editing subject. I could not do anything and its beyond my control.:P
Anyway, if I show this article to my MC104 subject teacher, she will give me 100 points for my initiative effort in writing. I think that I deserve it for my great effort at least.( I will post it other time for you, friends). I also believe that it is a big opportunity to have this for practicing my writing. That is period.
I stayed in Thailand for three months. I met many Burmese students studying in the most expensive international schools in Bangkok. I saw them with different scenarios of their struggling there.
Imagining schooling in the foreign countries needs thousands of dollars. I was very happy to knowthat many brilliant scholars from my own country could study outside the country. I believe that that was a good sign for our country's future.
Things seemed to be unexpectedly happened in our lives after all. Until now, I did not hear the voice from those people that they would like to go back to Myanmar willingly and heatedly after the studies (some students only).
I just want to reflect this experience for this week.
Of course, for those who donot want to go back to the country, they may have lots of excuses and reasons that they do not want to go back. It was their choice.
Maybe, they find better opportunities for their future. It is up to them. My question is if they are happy for their choice to live for the rest of their lives in another country. Of course not. Then, why not?
It is not an unending and unceasing challenge for us. Let's ask ourselves to check your choice that you have made in past and rethink them by ourselves individually.
Yesterday, on January 26, I was in the AB. English class to have a talk about the history of our national language. I titled my talk, "the sunny side of a coin", which gave a big impression about my country, Myanmar (Burma).
Most of the students in the class were surprised to see them, including other foreign students. I was truly proud of being able to share about some of my country's natural beauties, rich heritages, full wealth of culture, custom and language and colorful lifestyles.
Of course, I can sense that other things about my country which tremendously influence us with a big negative impact after all. I believe that negative can not designate for positive.
"Change" must come in our country and our people.
Let's promote our country's face to enable to have a honorable and preserved dignity in the international community. Let's have good heart and will for the country.
