Strength is not about never falling, rather it’s about getting back from lots of hardships, struggles never giving up. As a student, I face difficulties and challenges doing my schoolwork, exams, and personal responsibilities. Sometimes from there I cried that it's enough; I can’t do them, then a voice came from my soul that you can do it, just the things is believe in yourself…
So I'm moving on.
In 2023, I lost my dad. I was 12 when that was the biggest heartbreak in my whole life. I thought my life had ended here, with no more going, but I’m still alive with memories. I faced lots of hardship during this but the thing is, I never gave up. I know after lots of hardship and lots of difficulties, there is a big thing for me. The things just to believe in yourself.
I have learned not to give up on yourself, on your dreams. Every difficulty, every hardship has helped me grow, become more responsible, more patient, more confident, and thankful to the one who appreciated me in my hardest times. I have learned success will not come to you overnight; rather, you need to go to success every day, every challenge, every difficulty you need to face.
