Today, I turned 18. The number itself feels significant—a marker of adulthood and new responsibilities. As I reflect on the past year, I realize how transformative it has been in terms of personal growth. This year, I had the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and take the stage multiple times, whether at Model United Nations (MUN) conferences, debate sessions, or other major events. Each experience not only improved my public speaking skills but also helped me grow in confidence.

One of the most defining milestones of this year was starting university. While many people my age are still finishing school, I have already embarked on my journey as a freshman. This early transition into university life has been both challenging and rewarding. In just six months of studying, I have already expanded my knowledge significantly and gained new perspectives that continue to shape my understanding of the world.

I am happy to have my family and close friends around me, happy to know that i have people who loves me, and adores me.

As I step into adulthood, I have learned from my mistakes, of course there were a lot of times when i was struggling a lot, have been hurt, there were many times when i was burned out having no motivation to continue doing something. However, I healed, I learned, and took my lessons .

I am excited what future and God has prepared me, i am looking forward to all the possibilities it holds. This is just the beginning, and I am eager to see where the next chapter of my life will take me.
