Each of these is a precious fruit born from painful life lessons,  which served great significance to my current studies and future career path, and to my current and potential confidence-undermining obstacles in our path of studies and practicum. I hope to try my best: to study as hard as possible, learn as much as possible and to devote to what life has granted me— including my chance to do a Master’s degree. I hope to stay strong and calm with my peers, strive for the best results together, and to grow with them. I am ready to communicate, to love and to share. IT Magazine / February Issue 27
