5) Personal Reflection
The movie was quite different to other high school story that I’ve already watch.
The movie got my interest immediately. It was really an interesting movie because all
tried to enter high school and has our own high school story life story. Like Charlie,I
experience to get nervous for the first day of school and also being alone. It was a
normal act and if we enter to a new school. It was hard at first but after a week, when
you have the confidence in yourself you will be able to adjust quickly. Not only in
school but in life. This movie had a lot of twist that made us think. But when you go
further you will understand sequence there. As people said, life begins in high school.
We will experience all about life. Like charlie, he experienced a lot during his high
school years, having real friends, girlfriend, quarrel, bullied, parties and many more.
Having a post traumatic disorder is never easy, it will always bother you even in your
happiest days. But always think that there is no permanent in this world. Everything
will change and everybody leave.
What I learned about this movie is never give up even how worst the situation
was. There is always a rainbow after the rain like in the story his disorders is cured
and became happy. Enjoy every moment of life and you will end up successful. There
is time for everything just trust every process we take.
