Uh, recently I changed a lot in my life. But the, um, one change that I’m really, really proud of is that I started, uh, studying. Well, I cared much about my grades so I could, uh, get in a good, uh, college and make my family proud. Uh, I made this change only this year, and I’m really, really happy. And I hope when my grades come out, it’s gonna be good grades. And the thing that motivates me that I thought about my parents when they see my grades and it’s not good. That’s why I was really, really thinking about it. So I thought that if I didn’t change now, if I didn’t do anything, nothing will change. And, and that really affected my life and it makes me feel really responsible for the things that I have to do, I have to achieve. Uh, that’s why I’m now trying really hard to get good grades.

Recently, I changed a lot in my life. But the one change that I'm really proud of is that I started studying. I cared a lot about my grades so I could get into a good college and make my family proud. I made this change only this year, and I'm really happy. I hope when my grades come out, they will be good. The thing that motivates me is thinking about how my parents will feel when they see my grades, especially if they are not good. That's why I was really focused on this. I realized that if I didn't change now, nothing would change. This change has really affected my life and makes me feel responsible for the things I have to do and achieve. That's why I'm now trying really hard to get good grades.
