French Revolution- Success or Failure
This I believe: I believe in change changing us for the better
Change. It is a word of great wisdom.
What can we ever believe in? Happiness, glory, success? No, nothing is secure, nothing keeps. Everything is bound to change. But the question is, is it for the worse or for the better? I believe that changes change us for the better.

Adapting to the ever-changing environments took a toil on the young me as I had difficulty adjusting not only to the frequent change between the climates of the different countries and cities, but also the food. There would be weird combinations of vegetables and fruits all blended up depending on the food available. I would cry day and night due to the discomfort of the ever-changing climates and the weird food combinations, and my poor mum had to put up with the incessant noise pollution.
