I would like to say that the most important thing that I have learned is what I learned from my year that I switched up from secondary school to high school. Because my experience is that I cannot achieve my want. So I’m not going into the financial gifted high school. Instead of that, I’m going into the second high school for gifted student. And it happened when on the July of 2023. And on my trip with my family, I’m going on a holiday summer for resting after my first year of practicing and learning. I’m going to go into learning a lot for my exams. I switch up from secondary to high school. And when I’m not, I receive the answer from two of the schools. I really, really disappointed in myself because I can’t get into that school. So what was the most I have learned from it is I think that I become better in myself and sees as a lesson for me to become better and better every day. And now I’m really, really confident in myself for speaking out.

I would like to say that the most important thing I have learned is from my year when I switched from secondary school to high school. My experience taught me that I cannot always achieve what I want. I didn't get into the financially gifted high school. Instead, I went to the second high school for gifted students. This happened in July of 2023 during a trip with my family for a summer holiday, resting after my first year of practicing and learning. I was preparing for my exams after switching from secondary to high school. When I received the answers from both schools, I was really disappointed in myself because I couldn't get into that school. What I learned from this experience is that I have become better and see it as a lesson to improve every day. Now, I am really confident in myself when speaking out. This experience has taught me resilience and the importance of self-improvement, which has positively impacted my life moving forward.
