My advice for students: Make an effort in the classes that everything at the beginning is difficult but if you can. Be yourself. Make the most of your teachers. Every effort is worth it.
Aspirations: I have the aspiration to be able to be someone stable in life, work in what I like, have my family, my house and everything else I want in this life because every effort is worth it.
My plans after graduation: I plan to be able to go to college God willing, and to be able to study what I would like to do in my life, which is to be a dental assistant, have a good job, good health and be stable with myself.
