a LeTTeR To MYSeLF...!!!

written by Iz

During one of the College Reading classes in the 2nd semester, we were instructed by Madam Nazeera to write a letter to ourselves. She gave us the things that we should write in the letter. There was supposed a follow-up activity for the letter, but due to time constraint we didn't pull through. I opened the letter today and I was surprised for what I have written in the letter. Sometimes, I never knew that I was the one who wrote it. So, I will show you what I've written. Here goes.



Assalamualaikum...

My name is Muhammad Izdihar. I am the third son of a man whose name is Rijap Saman works as an officer of a firefighter officer in the airport department. I think I am a natural-born leader. I've been trained to be a leader since I was in primary school. I've always been involved in group works and people would always choose me as their leader. Up until now, being a leader has already been a part of myself. I believe that even when we have to do things that are difficult but if we do it sincerely, we're going to be happy and to doing them in any way possible. That's how I feel being a leader.

I don't think, but I know that my friends know how do I do my job as a leader. I also know that most of the guys used to have doubts about me being their leader as they see me as an incapable person of doing work like this. Thank goodness, when they get used to the way I'm handling my responsibilities, they began to accept me for who I am. As for my family, I think I'm the 'black sheep' of the family. Don't get me wrong but I'm the positive kind of 'black sheep'. I'm the only child in my family that is strong in the linguistic field. Apparently, I'm the only child who is good with languages. I know Mandarin as I went to Chinese primary school for 6 years. I al am also the only child who managed to get As for English in UPSR, PMR and SPM. My family would always refer to me when it comes to English language usage.

My strengths are my bravery, my confidence, my talkativity talkativeness and my voice. As far as I'm concern, I'm really grateful to have these abilities in me. I love to talk and sing. I don't think it's vain if I say I have a pretty good singing voice. My bravery and confidence allow me to be able to talk in front of crowds without having a stage fright. My talkativeness enables me to do presentations effectively. All my strengths are beneficial to me as I always want to be a singing lecturer.

My weakness is I have the tendency to care for my friends too much. Sometimes, I care about my friends more that I care about my family. I've been back-stabbed many times already until I've lost count. But that's my weakness. No matter how my much my friends had hurt me, I still care about them no matter what. I think I will use my weakness to show to my friends how much I care about them. I'm thinking that by doing so, they wouldn't be easily hurting me in the future anymore. I just hope they would understand more how I feel and be more empathetic.

As a student, I want to be excellent. All these while in my whole life, I've only been one of the best students, never been the best student so far. So, my goal is to be the best student and to be listed in the Dean's List but I really have to strive because I only got 3.18 for my 1st semester in ASASI TESL, UiTM.

My goal enables me to be what I want have always wanted to be in my life. I've always wanted to be an establish and successful singing lecturer. By becoming an excellent student, I'm sure with God's willing too, I can be what I want, easily.

I'm going to be a singing lecturer in the next 10 years. This I promise myself. I wish, I hope and I will get what I want because I will never give up until I have reached my goal.

Yours truly,
Iz Rijap
