Okay, so I remember vividly that in October I had a lot of things to deal with. At the end of October were my big final exams at my flying colors. However, at that moment, I took a risk to participate in the national marketing competition with other students in Vietnam. At first, I thought I could balance all of the workload, but I was stuck on how to brainstorm and solve the issues of the marketing context. This was the reason why I was really panicked. Lots of things had to be finished at the same time, so I was really worried about the outcome. As you know, I am a person who drives for excellence, so when I did not handle everything well, I felt really stressed and guilty about my effort. I felt that I could not put in 100% effort in what I was doing. I think that my performance was not really excellent and did not fulfill me. Up to now, I am not really satisfied with how I handled things at that time. I realize that in the future, I need to have better time management and contribute equally to each task to achieve fulfilling outcomes. That's all.
