Male Female
Two years ago, I was really struggling with some subjects that would be a merger of my future career. To be honest, I didn't know the best teachers who could assist me in becoming better in these subjects. So, I decided to seek advice from my sister, who had a lot of experience with education and extra lessons and also knew the best teachers in the education field. She said at first it would be quite challenging for me and praised me for starting earlier than others. I was also quite hesitant to make a decision because I thought about my friends and leisure time, worrying that if I had many extra lessons, I wouldn't have leisure time to spend with my friends. But then I thought she was right. I should step out of my comfort zone and embrace many challenges.
