My elementary school teacher (who has always been my favorite) once told me in my final year, “You’re going to be a big name one day.” In middle school, my art teacher invited me to join an art course and gave me and many other students free art lessons outside regular school hours a few days a week. I don’t recall much from high school, but in university, my favorite professor once said, “It’s truly admirable that you’re achieving all this despite everything.” 

I’m grateful to all of them for giving me courage and creating moments that I will always remember as key steps in shaping my path. 🙏🏻
