Description

As a student, every time I have been asked one question everywhere I go, is “WHAT IS YOUR INTEREST”? This question is so difficult to answer for me as I really don’t have any idea what exactly interest me! I became blank and often avoid and leave the place. While undergoing this unit, when I heard my teachers or would say listen to my teachers lectures carefully, I was constantly asking is this something my interest would fall for. Then by the end of the unit, I realize I don’t take interest in what is written in books rather I enjoyed the lively conversation, personal experiences, shared by the teachers, other students. My focus was improved as I could have related things to the real life. I no more feel sleepy listening to those written stanza’s in my book as I have got the sense to relate this to my life.

Interpretation

When I started relating these books with my own life, with my own money and how my mom manages our finance and how she made accounts for my dad. I could understand and started calculating my own. The finance things which used to go over my head was something suddenly I was able to resolve. And were more to find the easiest way of doing it. My interest in literature and for writing the articles came out. Now I don’t need to copy answers from the books or my friends. Instead I just read and get idea what this topic is about and then frame it in my own words and share my life experience as an example and by chance I was doing good.

Outcome

I have started reading three books at a time for same subject and have extracts of the matters, gone through live examples and put those examples in my answer. This interest me, I feel self-satisfied when I write my answers so briefly and nicely and started waiting for appreciation.

Now I am waiting for somebody to ask me what my interest is – As I know what to answer, my interest is in writing, writing and summarising and make the article interesting for the reader. I would be learning into the field of Content writer or will do apprenticeship with some news agency to develop core values and learning. I will continue to write this way as this way writing the crux of the matter with different examples will never make my answer similar to any other student and this will be unique, explanatory, concise and at least I will feel good about it.
