live life by myself. I have to get my degrees and get high education as much as I can so I can help out my
family life. I set up my goal to graduate my major in 1 years so I can go on my other major which I was
really want to achieve. I will go for air conditioning and get my master degree on it so I can have my own
air conditioning company. I dream to have my own air conditioning company. It is because I have to
