When I was in high school, I had really poor skills in chemistry and physics because I was in secondary school. When I was around 14 or 15, I had bad teachers and I wasn't a very good student, so I fell behind compared to my classmates in those subjects. What I did was take private lessons with a teacher who was very experienced and knew how to handle this situation because she had many students with the same problem as me. She really helped me throughout high school to improve, especially in chemistry. I managed to achieve really good grades, and now I'm even studying pharmacy. This means that I am much better at chemistry now. I felt really good and proud of the changes I made, and I am also very thankful for my teacher, even though the lessons were kind of expensive. I think it was really worth it. Overall, it was a significant turning point in my academic journey.
