Watch your Language
Nepali,Hindi and English are the only languages I know.Although in family almost everyone speaks atleast four languages, German is the language of choice.I tried to learn German but it was way beyond me.The sounds, grammer it was just to much to handle for a 6 grade student.So I signed up for French, which was taught in my school for free.I learned French for next 6 years, but have nothing to show my knowledge because I don't remember anyhting.Just some words, greetings is all I have left.I feel sad because I had really worked hard to master the grammer, all those conjugations and the other rules.
I don't know what happened, maybe I didn't practice hard enough or maybe I didn't talk enough I lost French.After realizing that I had lost French, which came about when I was in second year of college.I thought for a while to go back to German and try my luck again.I went through the old notes my dad kept, then got some help over the internet.The struggle went on for a week then I gave up one again.
So now I am back to square one with three languages.I want to learn a new language and expand my understand of different cultures. I am really interested in Judaism and also in Chinese culture. But then there is something holding me back, like this feeling that now I have concentrate on building my career and make some money intead of running after some interests. I don't know if that feeling is good for me or not.I am still trying to figure it out.To help me decide, I am taking a year off.2006 is going to be the year when I hope to the purpose of my life. I will find my path, my way to nirvana.
(fictional account, any resemblance to a person is a coincidence)
