If you’re talking about something challenging that I have successfully conquered, then it has to be my undergraduate thesis. It was this long, like 100-page long thesis with with a really complicated topic, but I have to finish in the rush of time. So, by finishing it was quite an achievement for me. It was obviously happening, but when I was in senior years of university, I was working time and I forgot the deadline for signing in to do the thesis. When it was notified, I rushed to find guidance teacher. But obviously, not much was available, so there was this I want to say pleasure that I got the chance to join in. He was a good, but peculiar lecturer. And since I was late to the table, he said that I would join in one of his later research the formulation of the Singapore government structure. As I mentioned, I was quite late to the party. It was usually my friend would have around more than a month. I didn’t see big time, but I had a tool. And I knew the topic completely. So the whole process was excruciating. Long reading power, long research window. And I just have to toggle my work. But in the end I did finish it and got an IE score. So I say that it is a success.

If you're talking about something challenging that I have successfully conquered, then it has to be my undergraduate thesis. It was this long, 100-page thesis with a really complicated topic, and I had to finish it in a rush. Completing it was quite an achievement for me. It happened during my senior year of university when I was working part-time, and I forgot the deadline for signing up to do the thesis. When I was notified, I rushed to find my guidance teacher. Unfortunately, not much help was available, but I was pleased to have the chance to work with him. He was a good but peculiar lecturer. Since I was late to the process, he said that I would join one of his later research projects on the formulation of the Singapore government structure. As I mentioned, I was quite late to the party. My friends had around more than a month to prepare, while I had very little time. However, I knew the topic completely. The whole process was excruciating, with long reading hours and extensive research. I had to juggle my work, but in the end, I did finish it and received an A grade. So I consider it a success.
