  1. Are you happy to be the age you are now?

Absolutely yes! To me, life is too short to worry about things you can’t control, especially aging. I think self-improvement and self-esteem go hand in hand and together they are the most important things at any stage of your life. As long as you feel you are progressing, then aging is not a big deal. That’s why I go to great lengths to live life to the full.

  1. When you were a child, did you think a lot about your future?

Not a bit (or: Of course, not). I think every child at that stage live entirely in the moment and doesn’t stop to think about tomorrow. The only responsibility that hey have is how to educate themselves to repay their parents’ favors. And I was no different from this. I spent much of my youth learning new things, interacting with everyone and discovering my hidden talents.

  1. Do you think you have changed as you have got older?

I would say yes definitely. As I got older, I have become more mature, responsible and selfless (or: less selfish). I think, all experiences are valuable even the painful ones and I think they help to shape me who I am now. I think it’s a universal path for anyone. We all learn form our past mistakes. That’s how we become a better version of ourselves.

  1. What will be different about your life in the future?

Without a doubt, my life will be unrecognisable from the life that I’m living now. I have a strong instinct that slowly but surely I would have a bright future ahead and can enjoy the fruits of my hard work. These days, I study like an eager beaver and I always have a positive approach towards life. So, I will achieve my target in IELTS, gain a lucrative income and have a healthy and happy family.
