Discuss an accomplishment event or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others

Personal growth is the advancement of a person to his dream, the way he wants to be and wants to have.
All that brings him closer to dreams and long-term goals is personal growth.
Dreams and goals for all are different, different for each person and the idea of ​​what a person should be ideally.
Therefore, personal growth for everyone is different, special.

Personally for me it was a period of my studies in the senior class. I'm studying in an unusual school for my country.
The tuition fee at my school is $ 1,800. Since I was not from a rich family for us it was unreal money. But my efforts
gave the result, in the entrance exam I took 2nd place and entered with 75% discount.
But even this for my family was difficult, because they also paid for
my sister's education. Because of this, I promised myself to study hard, enter the best university on a budgetary basis and become the most rich
person in the world.
My parents also were happy. Because to get into such a school is a rarity, and even more so to stand out among the best students and become an olympiad student,
this was something unimaginable for me.
However, I became the best of the best and was able to attract attention.
So through repeated tests I have chosen as the olympiad student on computer science.
Then I had to leave my home and study my subject in-depth. I had to got to olympiad centre located in Bishkek.
I was studying at the 7th grade and for me it was a very serious step.
There, far from my parents, it was very sad and difficult for me to endure all that happened to me, but in spite of this I was able to overcome
all at that time seeming problems for me. Because of the fact that I have achieved such success with my perseverance and zeal, many others envied me,
and some teachers disliked me because I took the place of their favorite students. So in the olympiad center was a teacher who did not like me and
tried in every possible way to get rid of me. I was very upset, I did not understand why he did not like me.
He was different with other students, but he treated me stricter. When someone did not understand something,
he just explained to them and when I did not understand
he on the contrary has dishonored me that I even do not know simple things. And because of this I have always tried to fulfill each of his tasks flawlessly,
but still from such an injustice, I sometimes wanted to give up everything and go back home. But every time I held myself back and spoke
that these are only obstacles that I need to overcome in order to achieve my goals and realize my plans.
But eventually this teacher did he want. I was sent back to my house. But after studying there for more than two years
I realized that I was developing only one-sidedly. In the olympiad center we only taught our olympiad subject and did not attend lessons.
I could not continue my early life. So much wasted time. I didn't know anything.
I was thrown out like a toy. I did not know what to do, because the Olympiad was everything for me,
I was preparing for the Olympiad from the 7th grade and everything suddenly lost its meaning.
 My parents scolded me because I knew nothing except programming, and even the programming was not given to me. They said that far from my parents
my unbringing became worse. In other words, I lost everything. At home my parents every day scolded me in addition to the fact that I was already depressed.
But I did not take offense at my parents because they only wanted me to find my way in life. And yet I did not give up and continued to learn.
This was very difficult for me.

But right now I'm even grateful that in my life there were such difficulties. Because it seems to me that this is what motivated and forced me
do not stop not to stand still and move forward, and it is this that has developed in me qualities like endurance and patience.
because of this I was able to achieve great success in the future. After a year of such persistent pursuits, I was able to prove to all and ahead of a thousand
rivals became the winner of the regional Olympiad, and then the prizewinner of the republican Olympiad. It was a shock to everyone since I
was studied at 9th grade and my rivals were older than me. And this year I made probably the biggest of my success, I won
bronze medal in the international command Olympiad in programming (VKOSHP). By this I'm not going to stop,
I still have many such goals ahead of me.
To date, my most cherished dream is studying in America. In my plans to score on TOEFL more than 100 points and go to study in America.
I wouldn't stop till I won't achieve my goals. Although scoring 100 in TOEFL seems to me very difficult, I know that it is not unreal.
I can do it, I will do it!
