Well, I would like to talk about a time when I had to learn a new skill that I had never experienced before. It was about 15 years ago when I was in class 6. At that time, my father was ill, and he was a teacher. He had to go to school by riding a bike. So at that moment, he had no ability to go to school by riding the motorbike. So as soon as possible, I started to ride the motorbike. The first day, I went to the playing field with my father's motorbike, and I started the motorbike, then I rode it very skillfully and efficiently. On the other hand, after one hour, I became an expert motorbike rider, so it gave me a sense of freedom and a sense of confidence. Moreover, after three hours, I became a professional motorbike rider so that I had enough confidence, and I went to the road for riding the motorbike. So the moment was really crucial for me, and I went to the school with my father by riding the motorbike because at that moment he was ill, and I just reached him on time almost every day. So the moment was really special for me, and I enjoyed it a lot, so that kind of skill was really important for me, and I enjoyed the moment with my father. And I felt really proud of that moment.
