I would like to talk about the memorable experience that happened about a year ago. It took place when I was preparing for an important English exam. At that time I was spending a lot of time studying and I often felt stressed and unsure of myself. One day I finally achieved the Z-score I had been aiming for in a practice test. It wasn’t just about the result because it was proof that my hard work had paid off. I immediately shared the news with my family and close friends. And they were generally happy for me. We celebrated with a nice dinner that evening. This experience taught me that sex doesn’t come our night. It requires patience, consistency and self-belief. Since then I have become much more confident and whenever I face a difficult challenge, I remind myself of the day. It’s one of the most meaningful memories in my life because it changed the way I think about hard work and perseverance.
