So I would like to talk about a person that I really admire. So the first person who immediately springs to my mind is my English teacher at high school. Her name is Alina and she is 25 years old. So I first met her a couple of years ago in the 9th grade when she became my home home teacher also English instructor. So at first glance I was quite intimidated by her high standards and strict discipline. Then as academic year progressed I’ve completely changed my mind because I’ve realized how much she dedicated, how she was really dedicated, educated and so on. So after the lessons we would engage in various sort of provoking discussions such as world literature, future career path, also career choice and etc. So she didn’t only focus on like traditional classroom teaching methods, she would also give various advice in order to step out of our comfort zone. So she never stopped giving me invaluable guidance whenever I faced with challenges in terms of my studies. So had I not crossed my path with her I wouldn’t have probably such a confidence in choosing my future profession, future majority. So I’m really glad for having her in my personal life as a person that I truly admire.
