For day 5 of my Summer Learning Journey, I had to read phrases on how to say hello and ask for directions in the correct language. I had to then write a poem about how I might feel if I was standing in an airport in a foreign country and I didn’t speak the language. Here is my short poem that describes how I might have been feeling (i.e. excited, happy, scared, nervous, etc).
My expectations were no where near the reality I was in
"What if I say something wrong and embarrass myself to the core?"
Questions and questions kept on popping in my head
Making me lose nearly all my confidence
My brain wanted to be back in NZ
While my heart wanted to have an epic adventure in Malaysia
I just wanted all the confusion and curiosity...
To Vanish!
