Aliyah’s Coffeehouse #2

A meaningful learning experience I had would be not giving up so easily. This has been a problem for me, we tend to give up so easily instead of just trying. The thing about me is I try until I know I can’t do it anymore and then I just give up. But when I put my heart into it, I make sure I don’t give up. My close family members motivated me and told me whenever I felt like giving up, always say “I got this” this has been my go-to phrase ever since. There was a time when I was 16 years old and I was so motivated to get my permit, that I would do anything and everything just to learn how to drive. Once I got my permit I was learning to drive but I was so nervous to take my road test. There was a point where I gave up practicing my turns, how to park. I was so annoyed by it that I just didn’t want to do it anymore. How much I wanted my license I just gave up practicing because it was so hard and I just knew I would fail my road test. I would see my parents drive so good and wonder why couldn’t I be like that. After practicing almost everyday I finally built the confidence to book my road test. The day finally came when I went to take my road test. Everyone had high hopes of me passing my test. I practiced one last time before, once I sat in the car I started to panic. I was so nervous I didn’t know what to do. At the end I finally ended up getting my license first try. I was so happy. This was a meaningful learning experience because this was such a thing for me, this was something I was really looking forward to. Throughout my life I didn’t put so much effort into anything, even after giving up at a point I still managed to motivate myself and get up again to push myself into getting better. Once you put your heart into something, nothing can stop you no matter what. You just need to have the right motivation and it will all work out at the end.
