My challenges within this assignments

Challenges within the assignments

Unit 5, Assignment 6
I. This assignment was the most challenging of all. We had to compose a song or poem , record it and  publish it on YouTube. It also provide the opportunity to reveal my greatest weakness, failure 
ii. The difficult part for me was that I was afraid of failure. I was not prepared to publish a live video of myself on YouTube.
iii. As time went by the due date was creeping up on me. I had a “pep talk’ with myself. I started to gain confidence to publish my video on YouTube after all. I believe if you don’t try you will never know. I took the risk and guess what I got 87%!
Afrikaans is our language!
It tears open like cracks of a wall. How long will we endure it?
He is the face of our country, But is now being put to rest. 
 Formed from life of other languages, He is forced through dark valleys.
Afrikaans is his name and we are afraid he will perish.
He fights for his life so he comforts his words, which shakes,
But is over life after which he strives. Afrikaans is his name
And together we will stand ,So that he will perish.
It is one who threatened,  But his words grip to his body.
Afrikaans is his name, And together we will stand.
For a long time, he is harassed, But he has an ear that can listen.
He serves as a home language, kitchen language, A people’s language and for us
As your only language. Afrikaans is his name and we use him to laugh and dance.
Afrikaans is his name and he is our only chance.
