During one of my classes, I dedicated an unfathomable amount of time to editing a video about photo synthesis for my science class. But when I presented it to my teacher, he said that his boss lacked luster and too ambitious. And thus I choose to stick to how my class made it their video. But the truth is that he was biased and has a preconceived notion that I am a bad student and I will never be able to achieve anything good. So I failed to defend my work. I cannot let him insult the work. That’s a work so I do ask him. So I know that the teacher is biased. So I turned my attendant. So I diverted my attention to my classmates instead. Because I know that their respect are non-violence and more trustworthy. I show them the editing process of the video. And most of them were impressed by it. They even complimented me on my editing side. In the end, the teacher has no choice but to take back his words. because the positive feedback from my colleagues were too much for him to handle. And he has to give me the highest possible score for it. This taught me about how you have to be resilient when faced with unfair judgment. And that you cannot only look at one perspective.

During one of my classes, I dedicated an unfathomable amount of time to editing a video about photosynthesis for my science class. But when I presented it to my teacher, he said that it lacked luster and was too ambitious. Thus, I chose to stick to how my class made it their video. The truth is that he was biased and had a preconceived notion that I was a bad student and would never be able to achieve anything good. So I failed to defend my work. I cannot let him insult the work. That's why I asked him about it. I know that the teacher is biased, so I turned my attention to my classmates instead. I knew that their respect was genuine and more trustworthy. I showed them the editing process of the video, and most of them were impressed by it. They even complimented me on my editing skills. In the end, the teacher had no choice but to take back his words because the positive feedback from my colleagues was too much for him to handle. He had to give me the highest possible score for it. This taught me about how you have to be resilient when faced with unfair judgment and that you cannot only look at one perspective.
