Someone who is actually very much interested in doing something very well would be my uncle John. So he’s actually an english instructor by the daytime, but at the night time he becomes an origami person who actually makes, um, different kinds of items made of, ah, wasisttage papers or stuff. So he has actually a passion for making things and curving woods and papers into a new materialistic thing. So his passion for, um, making things actually led him to recycle upcycling and also reusing stuffs. So he is s actually an energetic, powerful, funny and a lovely man. Um, he always gets you motivated to do whatever you want from the inner corner of your heart. So recently he started a YouTube channel of his own where he used to display different kinds of origami, materialistic things. And he also opened a TikTok account after we all nagged him that he should actually go for it. And after doing that, he actually hit a million in a video where he show a beautiful peacock made of, uh, wasteful paint scraps. And also with sharp, uh, sharp, you know, the pencil. When we actually sharp our pencil, the items we actually get. So actually made that part into beautiful petals of the peacock. And that turned out to be so good and very cool. So that actually hit a million in TikTok. And after that he got a lot of subscribers in YouTube. If I remember it correctly, it might be around 500,000. So then he started actually selling different kinds of origami items and he actually hitid it off at the market. So I think that, uh, although he’s an english teacher, but his passion for making items from wasteful things actually led him to something beautiful and a different career apart from his daily job. So this is something he is actually doing well in. And I also get motivated from him.

My uncle John is someone who truly embodies the idea of pursuing a passion with dedication. By day, he's an English instructor, but by night, he transforms into an origami master, crafting intricate creations from recycled materials. He has a genuine love for taking ordinary materials like paper and wood and shaping them into something entirely new. This passion for creation has led him to embrace upcycling and repurposing, turning waste into beautiful art. He's an energetic, kind, and humorous man who inspires others to follow their dreams. Recently, he started his own YouTube channel to showcase his origami creations. After some encouragement, he also joined TikTok, where he gained immense popularity with a video featuring a stunning peacock made entirely from discarded paint scraps and sharpened pencil shavings. This video went viral, reaching over a million views on TikTok, and subsequently boosted his YouTube subscriber count to around 500,000. He's even started selling his origami pieces, finding success in a new market. While he's a dedicated English teacher, his passion for crafting from recycled materials has blossomed into a fulfilling side career.
