1. What are the similarities of your past and present?

For my personal growth, the present and the past both contribute based on my

personal experience. For example, the lessons learned from my past experiences can

be applied to the present, helping me to grow and learn from my own mistakes. Life is

full of challenges, both in the present and in the past. As an individual, I can draw

strength and resilience from past experiences to face present challenges. Also, the

present and the past are both filled with opportunities that help me achieve my goals

and pursue my dreams.

2. What are the differences of your past and present?

One of the most noticeable differences between the present and the past is the

technology that is available today. Today, technology has completely transformed the

way I live, work, and communicate with others. Also, education today is much more

accessible for me, and there are many more opportunities to learn and grow. The

opportunities available to people today are vastly different from those in the past. In

the past, I only saw myself as a student. Today, I can explore other goals to create an

opportunity for success.

3. What are the possible reasons of the differences?

Some of the reasons are the environment, choices, and actions. A person's

experiences and prospects can be profoundly impacted by the environment in which

they are raised. For instance, a child who grows up in a wealthy area might have

access to better resources and educational opportunities than a child who grows up in

a disadvantaged one. On the other hand, the choices and actions that a person makes

can greatly impact their life. An individual who chooses to seek higher education, for

instance, may have more employment options than one who does not.
