This is the first semester of my first year and I am still trying to cope with the classes. Since I am unsure of the assessment standards, I feel a bit pressured. But soon, I will get to know as assignment submission and examinations have begun.
To achieve my academic goals, I have to maintain a good understanding of the syllabus and results in my studies by keeping up with the schedule as well as preventing procrastination. In addition, I have to view this learning process as the journey of equipping knowledge, unlike my view for the high school examinations, merely memorising and studying for 10As.

So far, it has been two years. I still could not tell the answer to the first question, but, progressively, I know that I could do nothing with my bachelor degree and even with the higher degrees.

The pain was similar to as if someone was hitting with some sharp object inside his ears and every time he would feel the shock of pain, he would pull both of his ears while enduring the pain. The pain would raise every couple of second and with each shock of pain, the kid would lose part of the hope that he had of surviving. He would experience so intense pain that he had never anticipated and all he could think of that “he is about to die.” This was the experience that I felt when I had a severe ear infection in both of my ears.

    Imagine being a gay child born in a small town right in the middle of the Bible belt. How would you feel?

As deducted in this example, one’s sociocultural environment is likely one of strict white Christian values, which will most likely force the individual to “cover” his True Self in order to become accepted in his community. In his work, “The New Civil Rights,” Kenji Yoshino incites individuals and society to show more of their True Selves.
