Hello everyone,
I’m Li Ming, I’d like to talk about my problems and how I deal with them.
I am not very tall and I am very common. But I don’t care and I believe in myself.
My parents don’t understand me and I have very few friends, I encourage myself to be kind to others and learn to communicate with others friendly.
I often feel stressed because of my study and I don’t have many chances to join the after-class activities. I will plan my time very carefully and improve my study in a very good way. And I will try to join as many activities as possible and achieve balance between studies and hobbies.
That’s all. Thank you!
