Last summer, I had the incredible opportunity to join a youth exchange program in a remote village in Cao Bang. At first, I was quite apprehensive about living without internet and modern conveniences, and communicating with the local children whose dialect was very different from mine. The first few days were a real challenge. However, I soon discovered the joy of simple living. We spent our days helping to build a small library for the village school, teaching English to enthusiastic kids, and exploring the beautiful natural surroundings. One evening, while sitting around a campfire, I realized how much I had grown. I was no longer afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone. This experience taught me the true meaning of resilience and connection, and it was undoubtedly the most memorable summer of my life.

Last summer, I spent two weeks volunteering at a local animal shelter.

One day, a shy, abandoned puppy finally wagged its tail when I offered it food. That small moment made all the effort worthwhile. This experience taught me a lot about compassion and responsibility.

My first camping trip into the national park was an eye-opening experience. We hiked for hours, carrying heavy backpacks, and by the time we reached our campsite, I was utterly exhausted.

That night, lying in my sleeping bag, I heard the sounds of the forest – crickets chirping, leaves rustling – and saw countless stars I'd never noticed in the city. Despite the physical challenges, I felt a deep connection to nature and a sense of independence I hadn't known before. It made me realize how much I had taken for granted.

Last month, my friends convinced me to try paddleboarding, something I'd always thought looked too difficult.
