When Truth Hurts

 A Journey Beyond Fate

 The story of Oedipus the King describes the serious conflict between fact and the truth. While trying to save his country, Oedipus finds a most dreadful truth - he has, unconsciously, killed his father and married his mother. This story shows us people can't escape what is destined to be. And some truths are quite painful to accept. Oedipus attempts not to have his fate come true, but it does. In the end he suffers immensely for what he has found out to be true.

I know I have my good points, and do my best each to day.

  My Blog Writing Experience This is the last day I will be writing on this blog. This is by far the coolest and most meaningful assessment I have done throughout my time on campus. While I had heard of blog writing before for all these days, it was only over the last three months that I actually learnt how to write a blog and express my thoughts creatively.  During this time, I wrote my blogs with real excitement. While it was an assessment, it was more than just a task for me it not only helped improve my English writing skills but also boosted my confidence.
