Well, I want to get the ball rolling by talking about a long hell go that I had set out a couple of years ago. It all started when I was in high school and then I decided to drop out and start working for a few months before I decided a big decision to come back to the educational environment. It was a big change for my entire life. And in that moment, I realized that if I didn’t have a good education and then I wouldn’t make it to the top of my life, my life goal and career as well. So I decided to come back to my school and pursue a different career in engineering. And I set out a goal that I would go across in the next five years and then I make a change of course to pursue a career in teaching English. And that was a life, a life goal that I have been maintaining over the last few years. And just imagining myself being at the top of my games, achieving the goals that I have set out. I have already set out and achieved them halfway through the process, make me feel over the moon. And in order to materialize my dream, I have to get a set of, you know, qualification that are deemed to be pretty difficult to achieve, but nothing is impossible. I often remind myself such a motto. And now I’m working on achieving this goal. I’m halfway through this. I’m currently working as an English teacher, Teachings English, which is the main track of my academic career. And I want to become an English lecturer in one of the best colleges in Vietnam. And after achieving one of the first steps of this Long Hell dream, I became more mature and independent. And this gives me a boost in my journey of achieving this Long Hell goal.

Well, I want to get the ball rolling by talking about a long-held goal that I set out a couple of years ago. It all started when I was in high school, and then I decided to drop out and start working for a few months before I made the big decision to come back to the educational environment. It was a big change for my entire life. In that moment, I realized that if I didn't have a good education, I wouldn't make it to the top of my life, my life goal, and career as well. So I decided to return to school and pursue a different career in engineering. I set a goal that I would achieve in the next five years, and then I made a change of course to pursue a career in teaching English. That was a life goal that I have been maintaining over the last few years. Just imagining myself being at the top of my game, achieving the goals that I have set out, makes me feel over the moon. In order to materialize my dream, I have to obtain a set of qualifications that are deemed to be pretty difficult to achieve, but nothing is impossible. I often remind myself of that motto. Now I'm working on achieving this goal. I'm halfway through this journey. I'm currently working as an English teacher, which is the main track of my academic career.
