Nowadays, technology has been globally renowned for succeeding in improving societies. Its potential to be implemented is so wide yet still growing rapidly. Therefore, to pursue a career involving technology, innovation is needed. One needs to notice world's problems and try to change them into opportunities. It doesn't need to be complex, as an example, I found that eating in a group with each person having different preferences is inconvenient. Within the awareness of this fact, I made a project in high school about an app to mix groups' preferences on eating and find the nearest place to eat together. Being innovative is also one's way to express their freedom and creativity.

I believe that failure is not to state that we are unable, but rather to motivate us to do better and harder. Obstacles also come to challenge and make me a better version of myself.

Rather than avoiding it, I felt challenged and decided to join the club. On the day I get the club examination, I struggled as I don't understand any of the questions. However, since I manage to get in and I have always given my best since then, resulting in lots of notable achievements I've accomplished in astronomy. Astronomy is one way to put it, but I suppose that "hard work will never betray the result" will be applied in every aspect of life.
