Through teaching, I finally have the chance to 14 , which is so different from my last job. Together with my co-teachers, I have helped people make their dreams come true.

When I was 14, life felt dull and boring. I didn’t really care to notice the differences among the students in my school. But this dull view of mine changed when my parents bought me a camera for Christmas.

I hate running because I am always the last student to cross the finishing line. Then, in 2019, my friend asks me to run a 10-km running event with him. “No. I hate 145 ,” I immediately say.
