Throughout my school life, I have downed motivation from many sources, but the most significant one has been my ability to support my peers. I would like to share a story about the first time I took the initiative for teamwork in high school. When I entered high school as a freshman, I often felt more and overshadowed by my talented classmates, which lead to feelings of self-doubt. However, a moment came when I was assigned to collaborate on a research project with my peers. This experience marked a turning point in my school life. Well, initially, I was really shy and hesitant to speak up or share my ideas with the group. Fortunately, my classmates refused to let me stay in the background. They consistently encouraged me and offered me support, showing me with compliments about my contributions. This positive reinforcement allowed us to exchange ideas and collaborate effectively. I felt incredibly grateful for their encouragement. As a result of our teamwork, we achieved our standing results, which significantly boosted my confidence. I can now confidently say that I believe in my ability, whether in work, academics, or any activities at school. I will always be thankful for that experience and the lessons it taught me.
