MY STORY A year ago, I went through a year full of struggle. Some may consider my

struggle nothing, but it was a big thing for me and will always live in my

memory.

In 2018, I was in ninth grade. I studied diligently to get high marks that would

make my parents proud. I had a goal that I wanted to achieve. I excelled in

my studies. However, some jealous classmates in school were trying to get

in my way and sabotage my ambition to get high grades. At first, I tried to

ignore their bullying. I suffered a lot, and it affected my studies. But with

a strong will, I dealt with these issues. I managed to keep myself solid, so

they started to move away from me. I continued my studies with diligence

and determination. I am proud of winning this war on bullying.

That wasn't all. After a few months, another struggle started. I became sick.

It became an obstacle for me in studying. I was always in bed, I could not

eat, and my temperature was always high. I was desperate that the school

year was almost over and the deadline for final exams was approaching. I

was still sick and did not go back to my lessons because I constantly felt

sleepy, but I did not give up on everything. I worked hard and reviewed the

final exams, even though my family told me not to study too much so my

body would not get exhausted.

Exam results came out, and I thanked Allah. I got a grade of distinction

with a score of 96%. I was very proud of myself, and I still thank Allah for

helping me achieve my ambition.

Ultimately, I tell you, don't lose hope in achieving your dreams, but rather

strive for them. No matter how hard you face, no dream is accomplished

easily.
