“I am persistent, and I do not believe anything will stop me from getting what I deserve. Even if I am challenged, I adapt to move on. There was a long period of challenge that started back in 2020, where the whole pandemic prevailed. I was a traditional teacher back then. I wanted to grow into a different version of myself, or to explore a version of me that I did not know existed. Teaching was not my end goal in life. I was confused and overwhelmed by my growth experiences back then. I would proudly declare to myself today after last year's challenge, and that without the global pandemic, I wouldn't have had the chance to discover myself. During the one-year lockdown, I had the opportunity and peace of mind to learn about what kind of person I wanted to become in the future, and what kind of person I was seven years back; I was able to reflect on my experiences and move on. Do not let others' opinions define you.”
