Why I write?
There are number of reasons why I write. First, I want to learn English. It's one way to practice myself in the language. Second, I wanted to make friends with other people throughout the globe. Since English is the Universal Language, I need to write and practice it to make friends with them. It's sad to say English is my weakest subject. I don't like this during my elementary and highschool. I don't remember any English topic from my elementary grades maybe because I don't understand it. When I reached secondary level, I felt boring during English class.Until I reached college, I find the subject very challenging to me. I have subject English expository writing, wow! I felt like I was in a box that I can't moved and nearly suffocated. I can't expressed my thoughts in words. I got sweat when my professor ask me to write something. I have so many ideas in my mother tongue but I don't know how to write them in English. But I'm still blessed I passed the subject. Until I got my work, I envy my co-workers who are good in English language. I felt people who are great in English are powerful. Like superman they can roam around the Earth. Third reason, is for my pupils. In order for me to teach them properly I should know the subject. I can't teach what I don't have. It feels great when you know you are successful in teaching your pupils. And fourth, is for myself. My day to day dealings with other people has improved. It makes me confident in conversing others.

Hello Seeker, thank you for enjoying reading it..
@ Expector Smith, it's quite difficult learning the second language specially if at the beginning you are not interested learning it. One should have patience and determination because it is a long process.
I enjoyed this sentence "I have so many ideas in my mother tongue but I don't know how to write them in English."
You can say that again and you are not alone in feeling that - I know the feeling. That's one of the reasons why we need to learn English. Your first language may be good enough for you to express all the feelings or emotions, but you may find English is as effective in expressing all the complicated situations.
