So, at the time when I missed it, my big opportunity was two years ago. I missed the deadline for Flex. Flex is a program where you can study for one year in America, in American schools. It's a program for students. When I was in 9th grade, I really wanted to study in America and have a year of study; it was my dream. The deadline was in August. But at that time, I didn't have a sufficient level of English. That's why I decided to enroll the next year. For one year, I didn't focus on improving my English, and that's why I missed my chance. The next year, I missed my chance to study in America. I really regret it; I missed my chance. As a result, I didn't go to America, and I felt very sad. At that time, I hated myself because I wasn't preparing for English, but now it's normal.
