So I’m going to talk about a former classmate, uh, of mine. His name is Zikhan. Well, uh, and throughout, uh, we have known each other since high school. And, uh, me and him instant hited off from the start. Throughout all three years of high school, he is s the funniest person that I know. He always knew how to cheer others around him up with creepy, witty, humorous yolks. And because of that, he’s pretty likable. But one thing he was known for was that he was pretty lazy and pretty un interested in like subjects like physics and math. And because of that, everyone became rightfully worried. When we are about to enter, uh, university, my teacher advised him many times to maybe drop out of school and follow to learn in a vocational school. But despite all that, he put in, very, very put in a lot of effort to learn, to study, to get into the university that he wants. And now looking backike, I’m really proud of what he has managed to achieve during that period of time. In the end, after the test, he received a, uh, relatively high score in both physics and math, which, you know, before were his worst subject. But now that he has achieved his three major, and I hope that he will continue to success more and more in the future.

I'm going to talk about a former classmate of mine named Zikhan. We've known each other since high school, and we hit it off instantly. Throughout those three years, he was the funniest person I knew. He always knew how to cheer people up with his clever, witty humor. Because of that, he was very likable. But one thing he was known for was being pretty lazy and uninterested in subjects like physics and math. This made everyone rightfully worried. When we were about to enter university, my teacher advised him many times to consider dropping out and pursuing a vocational school. But despite all that, he put in a lot of effort to learn, to study, and to get into the university he wanted. Looking back, I'm really proud of what he achieved during that time. In the end, after the test, he received a relatively high score in both physics and math, which were previously his worst subjects. Now that he has achieved his goals, I hope he continues to succeed more and more in the future.
