What I got from writing journals
After I've written fifty pages of journals, I am happy that I had a chance to express myself. I wrote down my feelings, thoughts, and opinions on many subjects. I could be really honest to myself and I could discover myself, too. By writing something, I had to express in words, it made me think more, and It made me articulate my exact thoughts onto papers.
I used to keep a diary, but things on my diary were so abstract and if I read it later, I never understood what I was thinking and how I was. My writing was like, "I don't like him." or "I was so pissed today." There were no indication of who and what I was talking about. However, I would enjoy my journals even if I read it much later. It's a good idea because it is important to know what I was thinking ten years ago.
The most important discovery of myself is that, I started to identify myself as myself more than I was before. I mean, now I think much more in dairy life, and I think now I want to join clubs and activities because I concluded myself that I need more time to spend with other people who share same ideas, and ethics. I realized that I have no time to spend just for myself. When I'm doing nothing, some people are dying to have another body so that they can do more things in their lives. I have to do everything I can do to help to establish my confidence, to help people, and racial activities, and so on. I no more waste my college life just studying, just for my career.
