I have learned a lot of great lessons throughout my entire lives. The most recent great lesson that I learnt during this second term in UBC is to never give up. There was one time where I failed my Math105 midterm and because of that, I started to neglect my Math homeworks. I thought that even if I work really hard on the course, I would still fail. A few weeks after, one of my friends showed me a video of a woman who is handicapped (no hands) drove an airplane using legs. She is a very determined and courageous woman. And after seeing that video, I started thinking if someone who does not have a perfectly complete body do not give up in her life and come a successful person, why would I give up on a such small thing like Integration for Calculus? Since then, I started to make the video as my inspiration to work harder for my Math105. I studied very hard for my second midterm so I can cover up my first midterm and because of that, I managed to do all the questions during my second midterm and I really hope that I will not fail it. Even if I still failed my second midterm, I will study still harder for my finals. That woman really has shown me that we do not have to give up on our lives too easily.
