Being isolated in class.

Studying in TARC is tough, and one of the reasons why it is so are because it's rather difficult to communicate with other students,

majority of them are Chinese speakers, and they speak Mandarin to communicate among each other.

Sadly I could not speak Mandarin during that time, but only Cantonese and English,

Plus with all the assignments conflicts in class, they isolated me so that I sit alone or just sit with my good friend Xuan in class,

Yup just 2 of us only, while other's sit far away or sit at the back in a gang as times goes on,

At first I hated the treatment they gave me, but then again I think, it's alright because at least I have my friend Xuan, 

Every assignment became like a form of competition in class, to see who did better or who had the highest marks, 

And I hated it.

Sometimes when I argued with my friend Xuan, then I will just go to the college library alone to read books related to the assignments or just play with my phone at the library,

When I argued with my friend Xuan she will also abandon me and thus I will be alone

There are times even, I had lunch with the lecturer because other of my classmates will just isolate me.

Even in the lecture hall I had to sit alone sometimes because my classmates would rather sit among themselves then to join me,

I had to sit with students from other classes to have some people to talk to me while studying too.

Their treatment towards me was unbearable at first, but I knew I had to go on with it,

I tried to be nicer to them even, with the assignments and even in the group projects so that they will talk to me, so I did more work then them.

Painful?Yes

because it's like a form of punishment I get for not being extra nice to them.

But in the end all I have was my good friend Xuan, to do the assignments with me.

This is the kinda cruel treatment I get in college,
