Today I would like to tell you about an ambition that I have not achieved. When I participated in secondary school, I used to have a dream which was attending and winning a robot competition because at that time I was very keen on looking for information and studying knowledge which related to the robot field. I hope to have an opportunity to participate in a robot competition at that time. And in eighth grade, a robot design event will help and I will be happy to be chosen to participate in this competition. It was a big competition and there were many contestions from other schools participating so it requires me to try really hard and have enough patience in order to win the prize. At that time, I tried to study hard and consciously learn and practice how to design a robot. However, there was a time when I was precious by not being able to design a robot. However, thanks to help from my teachers and my friends, I kept trying to achieve my goal. Finally, on the day that this competition will occur, I had the opportunity to compete with everyone in other schools because I really tried to squeeze and control our own robots to achieve the best results. Finally, the contest and I couldn’t win the first prize. However, I was so certified with my options to participate in that competition. It was delicious even though I couldn’t fulfill my ambitious and grow a social difference with my options because I have also unforgettable memories.
