I wanted to tell you about the entrance exam. It was a hard time for me because I had to face two problems: mental health and physical health. First of all, I had to take a math test. To be honest, I'm not good at math. I felt it was difficult. I struggled with calculations and logical thinking. I always struggled with math, and the hard part was that I had to stay up late to analyze the test and learn again from YouTube. I had to burn the candles at both ends. At that time, I felt nervous about math. I felt frustrated because math was breaking me. But when I looked back at that period, I found that math is interesting and logical. I realized I could learn many things from math. After that, I kept my interest in math, and I could spend a lot of time learning and analyzing it. This challenge taught me resilience and helped me develop a new appreciation for the subject.
