A positive change that happened in my life was my character development. It started around the time I was 10 or 11, when the COVID-19 pandemic began. We were all confined to our homes, and it was a challenging time. Before that, in middle school, I was quite immature. I often had negative thoughts, like jealousy, and I would start drama and conflicts with my friends. It was a traumatic experience that I don't want to relive. During the pandemic, I realized that I didn't have many true friends, only a few close ones. I understood that my actions were often the cause of the problems I faced. I decided to start being more mature instead of childish. I tried to take care of myself better and sought advice from my sister on how to change. One unexpected thing that helped me was watching Korean dramas and movies. They made me realize what was right and wrong, and they helped me mature. Now, I have more friends, and I feel like my maturity has increased significantly. I don't feel childish anymore. My character and personality have changed over time, and I'm grateful for that positive transformation.
