First, I think I should mention that I’m a bit of flip flopper, so I’m inclined to change my goals too fast, so I can be really obsessed, really devoted for a week maybe, but then I I change my goals, change my mindset and previous ideas are no more carry any purpose, any meaning for me. So because of that, it’s difficult to say about anything that I really tried my best to achieve. But there is one thing, it is in English and it is preparation for this exam because during my preparation I was really disciplined. I did something, at least something, every day. So I’ve never had such passion throughout my life. So yeah, but I just hope that it doesn’t come across as bragging, because I don’t know, I’m just a person who… it’s difficult for me to talk about my achievements, to talk about my efforts, because that’s not a lot compared to other people. they can do much more and so I look miserable in comparison to other people. So because of that I don’t like to talk about my any of my goals, aims, yeah. And how actually I feel about this preparation it’s it’s really a big thing for me. Maybe that doesn’t make sense for profits in my life or prospects for my future. But it actually gives me pleasure. It’s pleasant to do it and I’m so absorbed in this thing. I’m so engaged in this thing. I can do it for many hours in a row.

First, I think I should mention that I'm a bit of a flip-flopper, so I'm inclined to change my goals too quickly. I can be really obsessed, really devoted for a week maybe, but then I change my goals, change my mindset, and previous ideas no longer carry any purpose or meaning for me. Because of that, it's difficult to say anything that I really tried my best to achieve. But there is one thing: it is in English, and it is preparation for this exam. During my preparation, I was really disciplined. I did something, at least something, every day. I've never had such passion throughout my life. I just hope that it doesn't come across as bragging because I don't know; I'm just a person who finds it difficult to talk about my achievements and my efforts because they seem small compared to what other people can do. I look miserable in comparison to others. Because of that, I don't like to talk about any of my goals or aims. How I actually feel about this preparation is really a big thing for me. Maybe that doesn't make sense for my life or prospects for my future, but it actually gives me pleasure. It's pleasant to do it, and I'm so absorbed in this. I'm so engaged in this that I can do it for many hours in a row.
