@kuzboy,
Great job on participating in the contest! Resilience is indeed an important quality. I agree with your definition of resilience as not giving up on your goals and being able to overcome challenges. It's inspiring to hear about your personal experience and how you thrived despite the challenges you faced after secondary school. Your determination to learn and excel in your work paid off, and it's great that your friends now recognize your knowledge and skills. Your advice to embrace challenges and use them as opportunities for personal growth is spot on. Keep up the positive mindset and continue to inspire others facing life's challenges. Well done!
