A person who has greatly inspired me to continue my education at Westminster University is definitely my grandfather. He's a retired military officer, and his appearance, standing tall at over six feet, embodies a commanding presence that reflects his past life as a hero of the Vietnam War. A couple of years ago, I faced academically difficult situations and challenges. I failed a couple of exams, including computer science and math. As you might expect, I felt really low because it questioned my ability to graduate with high marks. It also meant that I might not be able to work at Google, which was one of my ambitions. Fortunately, my grandfather stepped in and encouraged me. He shared stories from his own experiences and motivated me to continue my studies. With his encouragement, advice, and different perspectives, I was able to pass all of my exams, including math and information technology. What I love most about him and what inspires me a lot is his optimism. He's always positive about the future.
