Now I am going to talk about a time when I had to make a difficult decision in my life. It was about 3 or 4 years ago when I found myself in a dilemma. I was given a chance to pick only one path: to study math or English. It was very difficult for me to choose only one because I was very interested in both subjects; they were fascinating and engaging. Eventually, I ended up choosing math because it encourages me to use my logic, and it's a very interesting and intriguing subject to master. I also gained knowledge of English, so I thought of it as a secondary language that I could master in the long run. The reason this decision was so difficult for me was that I was studying at a university that specialized in both math and English, which is called economics. In economics, all students are expected to acquire knowledge of both math and English. For this reason, I had a great idea: to learn math in the English language, using English terms. This approach was very useful for me in learning math. So that was the interesting and difficult decision I made at that time.
