New Classes, New Friends, New Me

In this episode, I discuss my journey through fifth grade and how a year that began with nervousness gradually evolved into one of growth and confidence. On the first day of school, all my friends were in different classes, and I felt scared about making new friends. However, over time, I made many friends, excelled in my studies, and became a topper.I also share my progress in swimming and music. Swimming is the only sport I’ve taken seriously, and in 2025, I improved my timing by over 20 seconds and even won prizes, which made me very proud. Although 2025 didn’t begin perfectly and I faced disappointment with low marks and participation certificates, I learned to believe in myself and keep going.The episode also talks about my music journey, especially piano. After having to leave my first class, I joined Music360 on my tutor’s recommendation, where I grew with the help of my teachers and completed my Freedom Finisher very quickly. I also discovered new interests like K-pop, reading more storybooks, and learning guitar.Finally, I reflect on my swimming journey, where I went from being the slowest in my batch to moving up the leaderboard through hard work and coaching. This episode is about trying new things, facing challenges, and growing step by step.
