HIGH SCHOOL JOURNEY PART-2

After turning back from Macedonia, I felt myself as an important person. Before that I only felt loneliness and sadness. But the people I met there improved me a lot. As I mentioned “The Huge Step” in my life at high school was going to happen in that summer. I decided to start studying Language Department in high school which will be the most important decision I’ve ever made.

Normally our school doesn’t provide this opportunity because there is not much request on this department. Ever year students got together and try their best to open this department. As you can guess they couldn’t, but we did. It was so difficult not at the beginning also in every year. We had 2 different classrooms; in general lessons we were in first classroom with other students and in special ones we were in second classroom.

The problem was about our language class had 11 students and almost all of them were marginal people. Whenever we join general lessons we had fights with other students about religions, ideas etc. I remember my fights with teachers…  (I will write another article about it.) Also, there were other students who were disturbing me all the time and teachers were doing nothing. In time I got angrier to school and to teachers and reported them to Ministry of Education. But there were no one coming and nothing happened (I was thinking like that in that time).

While those stupid things were happening there were also Erasmus+ projects which I could join. Me and my 4 friends applied for first project in Romania, we were all expecting to get approved and go to the project because we were in language department. After 3-4 days a student came and called 4 friends who applied to the project with me. I was little bit shocked but didn’t understand what’s going on that time.

After they turned back our teacher explained me the situation. There were 8 places for students, and they decide to send students who didn’t join any projects before. But the way they do is sending one new student with a one who’ve been in another project. Its hard to explain but they will go like couples. Anyway, then she added “in the next project you will go I promise.”

I was feeling terrible, destroyed, collapsed… After they turned back, I was listening to them and feeling terrible. I wanted to join that project so much but there was nothing I could do. I start waiting for the other one. I learned that in other project there were 5 or 6 countries we will have opportunity to visit. Which made me so much more excited. It improved my motivation a lot and I started to study more and more…
