Well, I think there are many challenges in the world for everyone who wants to deal with various problems. For me, the challenging thing I want to talk about is during COVID-19. At that time, I was a student in high school, and I also gained weight. When I talked to my friends about it, they would smile and often say things that weren't really good about my body. I think it's just keeping fit, but sometimes I didn't want to hear those comments. There were some negative things said about myself. I decided to pursue a healthier lifestyle to train and make myself different, to make myself better than I was at that time during COVID-19. Because during the pandemic, you just stayed at home, spending a lot of time on computers and engaging in some not-so-good hobbies. That's why I always aimed to change myself to stay fit. It was challenging, and the reason I think it was challenging is that it required a lot of effort and determination to overcome those obstacles.
