To tell you the truth, life in Senior 3 is really stressful. My parents are my main source of stress, for they always emphasize the importance of study. As for stress, I think it is an inevitable part of life. A moderate amount of it can help me meet daily challenges and motivates me to reach my goals.

Taking care of one job at a time can provide a greater sense of accomplishment and decrease feelings of being overwhelmed. In addition, doing sports helps me a lot.
Best wishes!
