Let me describe a challenging thing that I've done. I did it maybe five years ago. This challenge was passing my exams, and I did it because I needed to attend university. I was learning a lot of information for the exams. I had different options. When I wanted to pass this exam, I aimed to pass history and English the first time, but I ended up passing math and English. I realized that I handled this challenge very poorly because now I'm studying here. I think it was challenging for me because you need to have a lot of spare time to prepare for the exams. I was very nervous about the results because these exams influence my future life. This was challenging, but I did it. That's all I wanted to say.
