Me and my writing journey!!

When I first got an enrollment in Limkokwing (LUCT), I was very delighted and took it as a onetime opportunity. It was like a dream come true! Moreover, having an opportunity to study the course I wanted was the icing on the cake!

I remember the very first day when I came to LUCT, i was petrified. I have never studied in the environment where people from different countries studied under the same roof. I was scared to death but was optimistic about the knowledge, opportunity and career I was heading for..

Whenever people asked me what I was studying at college? I said-“ media and communication” and all people could think of was writing and journalism. I often tried explaining to them that there are more components to it than those two. To be honest, writing never appealed to me, I always thought I was a bad writer and not good with putting words together. When I was in the first semester, I never wanted to attend writing classes, I felt lost and incapable in my class. There was constant encouragement from Denise and other family members but I thought that the art of words is just not my cup of tea!

When I started my second semester, I thought I might be able to get away with my writing class (honestly, nothing to do with lecturer) but my luck! On the very first day of the class, Denise gave us our assignment for the semester, it was to write a blog every week, journal every day and 3,000 words article. At first, I thought it would be very difficult and be in a trouble for being a horrible writer. I did not wanted to do any of the assignment at all. However, as time passed, and as I started writing, I found the game of words quiet interesting. All those researches for the blogs and article, pouring emotions on journal was an interesting game. I am proud of every piece I wrote.( I doubt about Denise enjoying it!). It was not as good as other fellow classmates but I enjoyed writing them. Today, I feel confident and part of this word game. This assignment helped me to put across my opinions, emotions, arguments, and thoughts in the form of words.

I really wish to keep up my writing spirit, as I now strongly believe that sometimes, the words on paper speak louder than your speech.
