Personal achievement
(Sent by Katterine, a student from Santiago, Chile)

My best example of that is when I decided to learn a foreign language.

When I left the school I didn't know what exactly I wanted to study because I liked different things. But a day I took the decision to learn English. And it was a good thing for my future.

Well, I studied English for two years in an institute. The first time was so complicated because I had never had English at school, so the first impression was: What I was doing there?, but after that when I had my first lesson everything changed.

I tried to listening carefully and I wrote anything, such as how to pronounce every word. Then, I started to get it.

It wasn't easy but with practice and patience I could handle it. And I practised all the time, with teachers, students, friends, so that I could improve my pronunciation. It was hard and sometimes frustrating, but now I can say nothing is impossible.

When you really like something and you feel passion for that, you can do everything to improve that and then, you can feel satisfaction for your personal achievement.
