Well, I have experienced such situations several times throughout my life. However, one of the most rewarding experiences was approximately six months ago. At that time, our instructor announced a competition for undergrad aids. This competition would offer certificates for winners, which reflect their efforts. I was over the moon about this occasion, as it was a vital tool for promoting myself. However, I was discouraged when we were required to create projects based on our creativity. At that time, I was struggling with my logical thinking and even experienced failures which were discouraging. However, my grandmother’s exceptional guidance and efforts encouraged me to resolve the situation. For instance, I prioritized reading textbooks and assignments to gather details about political events. Then I compared and analyzed these political events by revealing countries, governance structures and international relations. Therefore, this strategy encouraged me to fulfill my potential and enhance my imagination. Additionally, I prioritized completing specific tasks that required creativity. As a result, it had a profound impact on my upcoming performance. During the competition, I was able to perform effectively, and all of these questions were a piece of cake for me. Consequently, this situation gave me a sense of satisfaction and pride, as I was able to pass my exams with flying colors. All in all, I was overjoyed to participate in this competition, which encouraged me to enhance my creativity and problem-solving skills.
