I do really like to share the moment when I was surprisingly calm when I don’t really expect for myself. So I am very nervous person and for me feeling comfortable situations. Comfort is very hard and I’m feel comfortable only with my relatives, family and friends. When I’m alone, I feel exhausted and scared. And the first situation when I expected myself to be stressful. and there was a situation with my exam. I think my mind just turned off therefore I don’t really feel stress and don’t be scared of the situation. However it was very scared. I was in the Saby Sun School with SAT exam and the problem was that I do really have a lot of people around me. This is a scared dream for me and I was alone. I was I think I was 16 years old at the moment and I do really think that my mind just turned over therefore I was very calm but after it when I came home to my relatives and friends I understand that now I am very stressful and I cannot find place for myself at home I do really start to eat a lot because when I’m stressed I start to eat a lot. For me this situation shows that if you need you can be calm, if you need you can be focused on something and I do really think that it just turning mind to another way of thinking.

I would like to share a moment when I was surprisingly calm, which I didn't really expect from myself. I am a very nervous person, and for me, feeling comfortable in situations is very hard. I only feel comfortable with my relatives, family, and friends. When I'm alone, I feel exhausted and scared. The first situation where I expected to be stressed was during my exam. I think my mind just turned off, so I didn't really feel stress and wasn't scared of the situation. However, it was very scary. I was at the Saby Sun School for the SAT exam, and the problem was that I had a lot of people around me. This is a scary dream for me, and I was alone. I think I was 16 years old at the time, and I believe my mind just switched off, which is why I felt very calm. But afterward, when I came home to my relatives and friends, I realized that I was very stressed and couldn't find a place for myself at home. I started to eat a lot because when I'm stressed, I tend to eat a lot. For me, this situation shows that if you need to, you can be calm, and if you need to, you can focus on something. I really think it was just my mind turning to another way of thinking.
