Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
When I came to America for studying abroad, it was a big challenge for my first year. I have been living for 4 years, but I couldn't speak English at first and had to adjust the American lifestyle. I learned how to communicate in English little by little. It was really tough to make people understand what I wanted to say with exact English words and sometimes I was dicouraged to talk to people. After two years later, I gradually overcame to have a conversation in English and changed my life brighter. Now I have many friends and spend a good time with them.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
Believing I am beautiful in front of the mirror. I was the kind of person who was not confident with myself. at that time I felt I was super ugly. However, after I tried to love myself by putting a lot of effort into taking care of my appearance, eventually I accept myself and think of myself so beautiful.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
Love yourself first. You are the only one who can love yourself the most. Find the positive side of you and admit your weak points too. And try to overcome your weakness or boost your charming points.
