Recieving Help

Yesterday, was one of those days where well I guess my pride was a little bit hurt. So I was in my Japanese class paying attention and trying to be a good student like always. The teacher told us that she would correct the paper and give it to us at lunch, but we have to come to the CIEC office. I was thinking that's cool so then I can prepare to study for the quiz. Well, I wait around the Ciec office because I was anxious to get my paper so I can prepare for the quiz. The teacher came back to me with my homework,but it was full of question marks. My teacher told me she couldn't understand what I was trying to say in my homework... I was quite embarassed by this and all of a sudden my pride was hurt.. I felt really bad because if my Japanese teacher can't understand that reflects badly on my part and how much work I have left to improve on my Japanese...I was quite embarassed by this and I rushed off to my society class to sit all the way in the back alone because I didn't want anyone to see how hurt or embarassed I was because of this incident. In other words, I didn't want to bring my bad aura or drama to anyone else around me. Then one of my friends sat next to me... well I felt bad because I didn't really want to rub my bad mood off of anyone but then after class I finally confined in him how I need help because I've been having a lot of trouble lately.... so he was nice enough to help me out with my homework and we both used his electronic dictionary.. I never realized how useful they are esp. the good ones (quality does matter) until after using... I feel so old school me and my book dictionary jeeze... Other than that it was very useful and I'm glad he helped me out I understood more and when I recieved help I didn't feel no condescending attitude what so ever.. I felt a geniune understanding and obviously I wasn't trying to use him to do all my homework because I want to understand it... I felt a sense of restoration of pride again... I'm still a little bit hurt about what happened again.. but I will try harder in the future until then peace!!
