The 2023-2024 school year was truly a memorable and fulfilling experience for me. Throughout the 8 months (equivalent to 32 weeks), in addition to maintaining good academic results, I participated in 23 competitions. This has helped me develop many important skills, including:
- Time management skills: To be able to balance studying and competing, I had to learn how to make plans, arrange a reasonable schedule, and prioritize important tasks.
- Stress management skills: Participating in many competitions sometimes made me feel pressured. However, I learned to control my emotions, stay calm, and find effective ways to relieve stress.
- Discipline and the spirit of overcoming difficulties: Each match is a challenge, requiring me to do my best, constantly try, and never give up.
- Self-learning skills: To achieve good results in both studying and competing, I had to actively seek, research, and learn constantly.
Besides that, I always spend time on relaxing activities such as playing sports and playing the piano. This helps me balance my life, regenerate energy, and have a more uplifted spirit.
I really hope to have the opportunity to share these experiences and skills with you. Hopefully, my sharing will be a source of motivation to help you overcome difficulties and achieve your personal goals.
