What are some of the challenges I've faced in life?

Despite being a working student, I still face financial challenges, especially when there are projects to fund, as half of my salary goes toward the maintenance of my motorcycle. Most of the time, I try to budget, but it is still not enough. I also struggle with how I handle certain problems—I tend to overthink, which hinders my ability to perform well in class. Additionally, I am not the type of student who studies excessively. My biggest issue is my mindset, which often feels like my greatest enemy.

How have these challenges shaped me as a person?

I really love creating stories that I share with others to see if they are trustworthy enough to keep a secret. I enjoy crafting stories and setting traps to test who can be trusted. Lastly, I consider myself an understanding person. While I may sometimes provoke others, I genuinely try to understand the people around me. My goal is to encourage them to think critically.
