My life has changed a lot in the last few years.
I used to be thin, but now I am strong. I used to be shy and was afraid of speaking in public. Now I am active. I liked playing computer games in the past. Now I like doing sports.
I was always ill in the past. So my mother advised me to do sports for some time. I followed her advice. I ran for an hour every morning. After a few months, I became healthier and stronger.
I think I will become better and better in the future.
