Three years ago I failed an important exam in my life and became a student in the ordinary school. Disappointing as I felt at the shabby campus and the poor equipped classroom, I found the teachers patient and more considerate. Besides, I enjoy the friendly atmosphere in class. I decided to make the most of it. I worked hardly and got along well my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were always available. Soon, I became one of the top students in my class, which greatly increased my confidences and got me motivated.
My experience tells me that it is not what you are giving but how you make use of it which determines who you are.
