During one of my classes, I did decided how less I will into everything I really want as I believe to be of high quality. But when I presented it to my teacher in front of the entire classroom, I was pretty really happy for it. Not because it was bad by any means, but because it was biased. The teacher has a preconceived notion that I am a bad student and that I will never be able to achieve a good result. I failed the need to defend my work, that I worked so hard on. That is why instead of focusing on only my teacher opinion, I devoted my attention to my classmates and act for their feedback instead. I showed them the editing process of my video. Most of them were impressed by it and I was complimented on my acting style. In the end, the teacher has no choice but to take practice first and to pay me the highest post-war score. It touches me that I have to be resilient whenever I face an unfair city station and that I cannot only look at one perspective.

During one of my classes, I decided how much I would invest into everything I really want, as I believe in high quality. But when I presented it to my teacher in front of the entire classroom, I was really happy about it. Not because it was bad by any means, but because it was biased. The teacher had a preconceived notion that I am a bad student and that I would never be able to achieve a good result. I felt the need to defend my work, which I had worked so hard on. That is why, instead of focusing solely on my teacher's opinion, I devoted my attention to my classmates and asked for their feedback instead. I showed them the editing process of my video. Most of them were impressed by it, and I received compliments on my acting style. In the end, the teacher had no choice but to take practice into account and gave me the highest possible score. It taught me that I have to be resilient whenever I face an unfair situation and that I cannot only look at one perspective.
