Notes

Good afternoon my fellow classmates! I am Zhen Angela. And today, I want to speak to you about something that each of us might encounter at some point in our lives—struggle. Although you might face obstacles and the path ahead might seem incredibly challenging, you should remember that every difficulty you encounter could serve as a steppingstone toward your success. Each challenge you overcome could strengthen your resilience and bring you closer to achieving greatness.

Think about the times you might have been pushed to your limits, when every part of you wanted to give up. Difficult moments are challenging, yet it is during these times that your true strength may be shaped. Each setback might be an opportunity to learn, grow, and come back stronger. Life’s challenges may not be there to defeat you but to refine you.

When you're going through tough times, you should remember you're not alone. Everyone who’s achieved success must have faced their own challenges. The difference might not be in avoiding struggles but in how they might have dealt with them. They might have decided to push through, even when it seemed nearly impossible.

So, when you’re feeling overwhelmed, you should dig deep and discover your inner strength. You might look around and notice the support system you have—friends, family, teachers—people who could believe in you and want to see you succeed. You can lean on them, let them help lift you up.
