"The 3 Cs in life: choice, chance,
change. You must make the choice, to take the chance, if you want anything in
life to change". This is one of the quotes I have been reading on the
internet and I think it reflects my character. I consider myself a goal setter,
and when I dream a dream, I plan to achieve it.
I came from a very humble beginning. Despite
the poverty and hardship in life, I have been able to pursue and finish my
university education through a scholarship, with the moral support and
encouragement of my family, and with the help of our Almighty God. My family
and loved ones are my inspirations to strive and dream high. It has been very
long the process that I have been through. At a slow pace and through hard work,
focus, and perseverance, I think I am at the final stage of my long-term goal.
I have the opportunity to work and live in Canada and as of now, I am a
permanent resident and working with one of the top 100 employers in
Saskatchewan.
I have the interest to improve my English
language skills most especially with my speaking ability. That is why I
enrolled in LINC Home Study. Basically, the English language is our second
language in my native land and as a native citizen, speaking English is not the
mode of communication that we usually use to talk with others on a daily basis.
That is why I want to improve and learn the correct pronunciation, diction, and
enunciation of English words. It is very important to me to be effective in
communication, to talk with my co-workers and bosses, to read and follow
instructions, and to be effective in listening. These are the social situations
and skills that I need to improve so that I can engage or integrate effectively
and appropriately in the workplace as well as in the community through proper
and effective communication. The most important English skills that I need as
of now are speaking, listening, and reading because these skills are being used
all the time in the workplace and I think I have a good level of English skills
in reading and writing. I am looking forward to that in the next few months. I should
able to improve my speaking and listening and attain a higher level with these
specific skills. Although I do not have difficulty listening with the majority
of my co-workers, I do have a little difficulty understanding the older
employees when they speak too fast with a different sound that I cannot
explain.
I want to learn and improve more with these
specific English skills because I believe it can help me build my self-confidence,
self-esteem, and self-improvement and I am looking forward to when I can use
this as an advantage to advance my career in the future. May God help and guide
me always with my plan and path.
