What Did I Learn From This Research?
I learnt that no matter how hard life gets and no matter the obstacles that may lay before you and no matter what life throws at you,you should always be yourself and never try to change who you are for the pleasures in this world or to try and make everyone happy and in doing that youâre making yourself unhappy.I learnt that lifeâs not always what it seems and youâre not always going to have things going your way and youâre going to stumble and sometimes fall but the choice wasnât yours to fall but the choice is yours to get up again and not remain on your face.I learnt that we have to face some difficult times in our lives but we have to be brave and courageous and stand tall and weâll get through it if we use our voices as our weapons.We can change the world in a better place if we use our voices as our weapons and use it for the good and correct reason.

What Are Some Of The Effects Of Code Switching Among Individuals?
In multilingual communities, code-switching is a widespread phenomenon that happens from daily life and workplaces to classrooms in which specific languages have been instituted as the official languages of instruction. Malaysia is one of the nations that have multilingual communities that consists of three main races; Malay, Chinese and Indians. From 1957 to 1967, language was used as an important tool in order to achieve unity and Bahasa Malaysia becomes the national language. Previously, English was compulsory in all schools especially the vernacular schools and due to the lack of English educators at that time, the idea was off the hook. In 1967, English language status was removed but it was still used nationwide.Â
Teachers, consequently, have been employing code switching as a means of students' understanding. Furthermore, code switching helps to facilitate the flow of classroom instruction since the teachers do not have to spend so much time trying to explain to the learners or searching for the simplest words to clarify any confusion that might arise. Code-switching should not be considered as a sign of shortcoming in the teacher. Instead, it is a careful strategy employed by the teachers. Code-switching should be allowed whenever necessary with some learners in specific situations.providing students with the opportunities to communicate and enhancing.
Richard (1985) suggests that code-switching is a term in linguistics referring to replacement between two or more languages in a single conversation, stretch of discourse, or utterances between people who have more than one language in common. Speakers of more than one language are known for their ability to code switch or mix their language during communication. This phenomenon occurs when the speaker substitutes a word or phrase from one language to a phrase or word from another language. Ayeomoni (2006) claims that many educators have attempted to define the term "code switching" and each understand the concepts from different points of view. Gumperz (1982) defined code-switching as the use of more than one code or language in the course of a single speech event, taken to refer to teacher utterances in the classroom. In other words, the teachers' use code-switching in order to convey meanings to the students.
Multilingual communities have the tendency to switch code either with or without their consciousness and Malaysia is a good example of a community that practice code switching. People sometimes switch code varied within a domain or social situation. For example, when there is some obvious change in the situation, such as the arrival of a new person, it is the obvious reason why people switch code. In most cases, a speaker may similarly switch to another language as a signal group of membership and shared ethnicity with an addressee. The code switch occurs from the first language to the second language or vice versa. In addition, switches motivated by the identity and relationship between the participants often express a move to show solidarity and it may also referred as the status relations between people or the formality of their interaction.
