I recall one time when I went through a significant challenge in my life, which was learning how to input Chinese characters when I first started studying at university. The reason I needed to take on this challenge was that I had to write a lot of essays and possibly a dissertation in the future during my university days. That's why I needed to learn how to improve my Chinese character input, as some of those essays could be written in Chinese. To overcome this challenge, I practiced every day for about a month, focusing on improving the characters through copying and other texts that I had. My parents supported me a lot during this time; they gave me a book with a lot of guidance on how to input Chinese with ease. Thanks to that, I was able to practice every day with the correct guidance. After a month of effort, I learned to input Chinese. From this experience, I learned that with the effort I put in, I could accomplish anything, and I am capable of doing so. I feel very thankful to my parents for supporting me all the way.
