I've been criticized lots of time and i tried to ignore most of them, since most of them are not exactly very constructive. However, sometimes, I couldn't help but wondering what is actually wrong. I always did everything (well, almost everything anyway :P) to the best of my current capability - is it not enough? I know i can improve, do it better, but still improvement doesn't come in a blink of the eye. It'll need time and effort - it'll need sacrifices.
For example, my Writing for Science assignment on Nuclear power, it's advantages and disadvantages. I did my research, tried to put the facts in a reader-friendly way, checked through the possible grammatical errors and typed it out (It's a group work, so I didn't do that all on my own though) but why, oh why, did I get such unsatisfying marks from my tutor? Perhaps my style of writing is not that acceptable to my tutor. Still, I definitely need more time to improve on writing factual essays (usually i wrote stories for the essay part in my english exam). But mainly, i don't like the rather accusing stares of my group members.
This is something that I'll have to work out on my own I suppose. Hopefully one day, I'll understand better and will be able to cope with the disappointment that comes after giving your very best and you still failed at your given task.
