I would like to tell you about my teacher who gave me unwavering support that can make my dream come true. Back to the time when I was at uh, high school. That was the last year and um, I had to study for the very important exam that the antine exams and after and uh, hard work paid off when I got to good news that I was accepted into my design universities. But then my mood came from excitement into disappointed disappointment because, um, my mom told me that uh, she couldn’t afford to send me to the universities. This is because my family was struggling financially. My dad, um, suffered from serious illness for many years. That’s why my mom had to become the breadwinner of the family. So I didn’t want to add any burden to my mom. So I decided to put aside my dream and um, I plan to, you know, work in the factory as a worker, though I didn’t like it. But then my teacher came and um, she believed in me. And she came to my house and persuade my dad to my dad and my mom to um, um, led me to study at the university. Um, and she promised that she will help me with the scholarship application and also help me to find a part time job so that I can um, support myself financially. And um, that’s the reasons why I can get through the universities. I never than enough for her support, um, without her, ha, I couldn’t get where I am now and I’m very grateful for her.

I'd like to tell you about my teacher who gave me unwavering support that helped make my dream come true. It was back when I was in high school, during my final year. I had to study hard for the very important entrance exams, and after all that hard work, I received the amazing news that I was accepted into my dream design university. But my excitement quickly turned to disappointment because my mom told me she couldn't afford to send me. Our family was struggling financially, as my dad had been battling a serious illness for many years. This meant my mom had to become the sole breadwinner. I didn't want to add any more burden to her, so I decided to put my dream aside and planned to work in a factory, even though I didn't enjoy that idea. But then my teacher stepped in. She believed in me and came to my house to talk to my parents. She persuaded them to let me attend the university, promising to help me with scholarship applications and even finding a part-time job so I could support myself financially. Thanks to her, I was able to attend university. I can never thank her enough for her support. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I'm eternally grateful for her kindness.
