Title: Dreaming About My Simple Life Term Till 2070 And Overcoming My Barriers Which
Are Preventions for My Future

I always imagine about my life if I didn’t exist in this world because I have five senses such as
hear, see, touch, taste and smell and unless I had those, what could I be? Anyways, my life
begins at the year of 2007, July 18th in Myanmar, Yangon region.

I was born in an average family, so all of my relatives love me so much as I was the only first
child in that generation. I started to speak my mother language with the word, “Grandma” and I
even noticed myself what I was saying. That’s why I considered myself as a genius kid. I began
to go to kindergarten at the age of 6 and I also remembered my first time there. I cried a lot, so
two teachers carried me to the office. I was really furious and hoping to pick me up. However,
one thing about my mindset changed because of something. It is the first time of talking to a
stranger female in my life. Her voice is so sweet that when our teacher calls to check the
attendance, she reacted with cute tone. And one day, great thing happened for me. That is to say
that I was lucky enough to dance with her, so I felt pretty happy. That’s why I grabbed the
chance and hugged her tightly so that I would never forget throughout my life. By all means, I
got full of happiness as a kid and those times are rich memories for not only just me but also
other people because everyone has emotions. Nonetheless, there are still downsides which I
didn’t notice during my childhood, so everything was going well until that time.

It was my father liver disease which is called Hepatitis B Virus. At first when I heard from my
mom, I felt upset but nothing else to afford as a child. I thought that was a big problem for me on
the other hand I found out the solution in my school textbooks how to cure that disease. It is
about as we know eating rich nutrient and healthy food. Therefore, my mom is a pretty
professional cook, so she really knows well about healthy vegetables. In this way, my father is
still in good health because of my mom’s help. Thus, I would certainly donate half of my liver if
we arrived to United State together because in Myanmar, there is less safety. And other things
that I didn’t know well is about my family financial difficulties. I thought moving to a new house
would be fun and enjoyable but my mom said, “We are not like others since we can’t afford to
buy a new apartment.” From then on, I found out I am not a rich kid.

Days passed, I was even in the sixth grade. I admit to say these experiences were so memorable
that I didn’t know sixth grade was my forever last grade of school because I didn’t expect that
Covid pandemic and Myanmar military government was about to destroy my plans for future, so
everything changed suddenly not just me but all of the people on earth. I started to use social
media during quarantine. Hence, I changed because of that happen. I started to do self-study by
learning Korean Language just for leisure activity. From that time, I really understood what the
real free time is. Moreover, I began to do home workout for my physical health and I found out
that it was also my favorite spare time. I discovered people around Myanmar just by having a
conversation from online zoom meeting, so I got the chance to know that there are people who
have different Burmese accent and what their dreams and problems for their future. That’s why I
really have a simple dream which can fulfill especially for Burmese people. That is mainly about
upgrading education because the situation in Myanmar is not really fine as well as the traditional
education system, so I think I have to change a new one necessarily. Having said that, I am even
just trying to make come true as a student as I have not enough knowledge and experience to
provide aid these humans. My mom said, “You need to be completely an intelligent person if you
want to help your friends and people. That’s why I don’t like just to say, “I will do it tomorrow
or maybe I will just do it later, that’s fine.” I am not that kind of person. I want to make the real
opportunity for my family as well as Burmese people before I die.

In conclusion for my personal statement, everyone wants to be successful in their life, however,
no one wants to face the hardships more often. That’s why I have my own motto, “Difficulties
are my real partners for my improvements, so when I faced some problems, I really feel great
because I have to find solutions. Everyone gets the same amount of time 24 hours a day since
we were born. Thus, hard time creates strong men and strong men creates good time. This is my
way of overcoming issues and achieving to goals.
