Helen Keller said some wonderful words. Of course, no one can easily reach higher levels and realize their dreams. Any hard-earned victory defines a person's work on this path and can accept it correctly in similar problematic situations.
Like many others, I have faced several challenges in my life. I overcame these problems with the help of my family, relatives and friends. And of course, a few of these challenges I remember as life lessons and I still follow them. Now I want to tell you about one of the biggest challenges I faced in my life and how I overcame it.
When I was in high school, I did not make many friends in my class. At any event or competition, I was selected as one of the last. I can easily say that the reason for this is not that I did not have the opportunity to fully demonstrate my abilities, but that even when I had the opportunity, I lacked the will. These include everything from the poem in literature, which I forget when I go to the pulpit, to not solving a mathematical problem that gives my team a decisive point. I was afraid to take the risk. Because I wanted to feel at ease in the classroom and not have any pressure.
So, one day I thought about something: Am I going to spend the rest of my life missing opportunities and moments that are good for me, or should I take action against it? Even if I take measures, will I change myself or my surroundings? Such questions did not give me peace. I realized that in this regard, I understood that a person who was able to make himself strong academically and mentally would help me. Then I talked online about this with my brother, who won a grant to INHA University in South Korea. During the interview, I listed my shortcomings and asked my brother to help me find a solution. Then my brother gave me some advice. Among them, he advised me to change my daily routine, instead of stress-related activities or preparations that make up many hours of it, I should take enough time for myself to relax mentally, for example, read a book I like. It was also a good tip to listen to 1-hour podcasts about the lives of famous people. After the interview, I saw a webpage on one of the social networks. There, the famous actor Benedict Cumberbatch said on the podium, "How can one not be afraid to take risks?" answered the question. His words are still etched in my mind like a pattern: "Learn to say Piss off” to the world once in a while. If you are afraid, do it because it is all about you. Even if the unexpected happens, do not do anything, and see what happens in the worst case. You are only responsible for what you do, so just do it.”
After that, whenever I made a mistake in public speaking or taking a risk, I took it not as a defeat, but as one of the big steps that made my success stronger. And here I am. After several big and small challenges, I am studying in the capital of my country at a prestigious university in my field of interest and I have been given the opportunity to participate in the exchange program of my dreams. Of course, I will not miss this opportunity.
