I would like to talk about time when I made one of the most important decision in my life. I was 18 and just two months away from starting university, but I hadn’t gotten a good result in my concord exam. So I was extremely unsure what to do. I remember it was a tough situation. I never faced like this before. I was really frustrated, so I started talking to my teacher and friends and asking for advice. They all shared their opinion with me and most of them encouraged me to stay at university. And they told me things like, in the first year is always the hardest. You can improve over the years, your skills or they said that dropping out the university might be a mistake. I could reflect it later. I had two options. I had two options. To continue studying at university or step, stop and try some singles. In addition, when I was two semesters, I noticed that the university wasn’t what I expected or I didn’t think I could grow or improve my skills. So after thinking a lot, I decided to drop out of the university. I told my mom and she was scared at first, but she told me that we support you and we believe in you. So I stood on my own decision. This decision completely changed my life. After that, I started to learn English on my own and prepare for IEC exam. That’s why I’m here. And also I learned programming and now I’m working remotely. Finally, I achieved a good experience and I learned things got harder, but I have to focus on myself. I learned even something decision and doesn’t match your goals or dreams. You have to be brave and get off your car first and follow your heart and listen what they say.

I would like to talk about the time when I made one of the most important decisions in my life. I was 18 and just two months away from starting university, but I hadn't gotten a good result in my entrance exam. So I was extremely unsure about what to do. I remember it was a tough situation. I had never faced anything like this before. I was really frustrated, so I started talking to my teacher and friends and asking for advice. They all shared their opinions with me, and most of them encouraged me to stay at university. They told me things like, the first year is always the hardest. You can improve over the years, and they said that dropping out of university might be a mistake I could regret later. I had two options: to continue studying at university or to stop and try something else. In addition, when I was two semesters in, I noticed that the university wasn't what I expected, and I didn't think I could grow or improve my skills there. So after thinking a lot, I decided to drop out of university. I told my mom, and she was scared at first, but she told me that she would support me and believe in me. So I stood by my decision. This decision completely changed my life. After that, I started to learn English on my own and prepare for the IELTS exam. That's why I'm here. I also learned programming, and now I'm working remotely. Finally, I gained good experience, and I learned that things got harder, but I had to focus on myself. I learned that sometimes a decision doesn't match your goals or dreams. You have to be brave, take a risk, and follow your heart while listening to what others say.
