The above picture has nothing to do with this post, just that I really hope both parties can work it out and we get what we and the members hope for, Girls' Generation with 9 members.
*****************************
I have been lucky that my parents strictly implemented the important of education in my mind since I was young. I am lucky enough to have love studying and had always been in the first/top classes or been assigned in the group with better grade. Though I lost 1/3 of the passion in studying after PMR, I am determined to at least get a degree before putting an end to schooling life.
People around me especially my high schoolmate have always considered me as the best student, the one who know it all when it comes to education. I admit that I am a bit arrogant as I have always been in the first class. And I do feel bad being treated as the smart one when I am not really that smart.
I have heard people told me that I am soft and kind, those kind of person. While I am not that smart, I am more that happy to provide assistance as long as I am capable of. Be it in study or companion, I give my best to provide help. While companion may be a bit hard as I am not that kind of person that could just leave my house at any time or any occasion. But if my knowledge in education is essential, I will provide as much as I can.
HOWEVER, there is a limit to what I can help or saying how much I am willing to help. As a student myself, I believe the top most responsibility is to study hard. The basic one will be doing your assignment by your own. Isn't this the most basic one for every student out there?
While people think that I am better in English and people would like my favour in checking their assignment piece, I am more than happy to proofread the essay to check those minor mistakes or to pinpoint those sentences which seem grammatically wrong. But please remember that there is a limit to what I can provide.
I know there are people out there who do your assignment for some fee. I totally oppose to this kind of facility. I believe that it is your own responsibility to do assignment given that you have chosen to study. No matter what are the offer you could give me, I will not do your assignment for you.
Each one of us have a different writing style. Lecturer are smarter than what you think they are as they can easily find out whether that piece of essay is from you yourself or from another hand. Please don't assume that they won't find out just because they need to mark hundreds of papers.
I do not know what are your relationship with that friend of you that you are the only one who he/she can beg for help. I am thankful that you think of me, but I do not like being taken for granted. It is not one or twice, if I still provide assistance this time, I am pretty sure there won't be an end for this. I know you are trying to be helpful, but you shouldn't have promise your friend with something that is beyond your capabilities.
I remembered clearly that I told you last time, that the best will be your friend taking an additional course to brush up his/her English. If you are saying it is too rush, then why do you always only ask for help when the deadline is near and why don't you take action before it happen when you already know the same thing will happen? You are asking people not only to proofread your piece, you are also asking people to help you rephrase it. I am not you, I won't be able to know clearly what you are trying to say by just looking at your grammatically wrong sentence.
I know it isn't easy to paraphrase a quote when you need to cite it in your piece. Your vocabulary need to be strong and I know it is hard. There are various way for citation and if you can't really paraphrase it, just cite the quote as it is. Citation is something you need to be familiar with and it is you top best friends in college life.
I would like to help, but I do have my own principle to. I won't do something beyond my principle. You may say I am being bad for not proving help at this very last moment where you hardly can find help from other people. But I am sure that you will not take action to correct and rather depend on other people if I still help you this time. Yes, I am being cruel with the hope that you take action to upgrade yourself and not just depend on other people.
Like I said before, I am more than happy to help but I do have my own principle. Thanks.
