Narrative II

Significant Turning Point in My Life

All people in this world must experience a turning point in their life. It can turn from good to worst or from worst to be better. It depends on the person itself because every people have their own right to choose what they are going to be. It also happens to me. I feel so many turning points that happen to me and change my life. Every single moment that happen in my life give a big influence for my habit, my behavior, and my ability. However, the most significant turning that happened to me was decreasing motivation to study. I really felt that my motivation to study was decreasing continually because of different situation and environment around me.

When I was in Elementary School, I was so diligent to study because I had so many competitors to get the first rank. At that time, I always did my homework after school. I also reminded the material that I have learned. At night, I studied hard to prepare the material for the next day. My father always accompanied me when I studied. He taught me the material that I did not understand. He really gave big support and motivation for me. That was why, I could get a good rank at Elementary School. I also became one of the best students in my school. So that, I often represented my school to join many competitions. I was afraid if there was someone who got better score than me. Maybe it made me too ambitious, so that I never let my friend to cheat my work. I did the test or examination by my self and I got satisfied scores for it.

When I was in Junior High School, I became more lazy because I had less motivation to study. I just did the homework without studying hard for preparing the next material. I had less motivation to study because my father never accompanied me when I studied. I also was not interesting with the lesson in Junior High School. The teachers who taught me not as great as the teachers who taught me when I was in Elementary School. However, I still had some competitors who motivated me to study and get a good score. In every examination, we always did the test by ourselves and we competed to be the best. So that, I still had good scores and good rank when I was in Junior High School eventhough it was not as satisfied as I was in Elementary School.

 

 The most significant turning happened when I was in Senior High School because I was so lazy and never studied. At first, I still did my homework at home and studied hard for the examination. However, when the examination, my friends cheated my work. I could not prevent it because I was afraid if they were getting angry to me. When the teacher announced the result, my friends got the same score with me. I was so disappointed because I knew that I studied hard to get that score, but my friends who cheated at me, they also could get a good score eventhough they did not do so many efforts to reach it. Since that time, I was so lazy to study because I did not want my effort was cheated with the other people. My father also asked me to do what my friends have done. So that, I did the homework before the school began and cheated when the examination. I did not have any competitor because togetherness was a priority for us.

Overall, I know that I experience a bad turning point. However, it happened because of so many factors that influenced me like motivation, situation, and environment around me. I knew that it was bad, but I had no choice at that time because I did not want to feel disappointed in every time. Now, I realize that I choose the wrong choice because now I have to bring my motivation back to study. I hope, step by step I can bring my motivation back and get the best result for it.
