One of the most important periods in my life was when I decided to prepare seriously for the IELTS exam. After that, I completely changed my daily routine. I studied for around 8 or 9 hours a day and used to wake up at 4 am because my mind worked best in the early morning. To stay focused on my goal, I made some sacrifices: I stopped going to game clubs, spent less time with my friends, and avoided expensive parties and trips. I also reduced my social media usage. Before that, I couldn't easily waste 2 or 3 hours scrolling through Instagram. Fortunately, my parents and my teacher supported me a lot. My parents even took the household responsibilities off my shoulders so I could focus on studying. Also, my practice scores dropped dramatically before the exam. I didn't get discouraged and kept working hard. Looking back, my biggest achievement wasn't just improving my English. I developed self-discipline and self-control, and my reading practice broadened my horizons. This experience taught me to manage my time, save money, and stay focused on my goals.
