Teaching is actually incredibly hard, especially if you are not a natural.

My younger brother, who hates math, forgot the long division algorithm (which ig we cover in primary school), and I completely lost my head trying to explain it to him the other day. +kids at that age ask so many questions that it sends your head spinning.

Kudos to every teacher out there. I feel you all!🤧🤝

It's all in your head.

You are as incapable, unhappy, uncreative, unsuccessful, unintelligent as you convince yourself to be.

Your sufferings are 99% perceived. Most of the pain you tell yourself you experience is merely the pigment of your beliefs and imagination.

It's you who can create the life you want, and you who can just be so stubborn to force it not to happen.

Imagine the perfect life possible. If you could, that already means it's possible to bring about. The only thing that remains is making it a reality.

Conundrum

Some of you know, last September I went to a Korean university - partly to experience a different culture, partly to study something relevant to computer science in a more developed country than Uzbekistan.

Although I loved the culture, country, and people, I wasn't so positive about the university. With its unchallenging environment, subpar education, non-diverse student body, hilly campus, and a lack of Korean training classes for AI majors, it seemed incongruent with the stunning coastal metropolitan cityscape of Busan.

Reflecting on my first semester there, I am now considering to switch my university to some place decent. However, while in previous years I was single-minded about my preference to go to an American college, now, after seeing what Asia has to offer, I am more or else convinced that Korea is even better.

With its beautiful nature, incredibly nice people, peaceful environment, and well-developed, continuously growing tech industry, Korea feels second to none when it comes to choosing a country to make your career or maybe even live in.

There are a number of great institutions in Seoul alone that I am considering to apply to as soon as their application opens: Korea University, Yonsei, SKKU, SNU, and Hanyang. Besides, there are a couple of unis I applied via Common App as a safety that I am pretty sure are going to be greedy with financial aid.

To wrap up, I still believe that college is more about fun and networking than building skills and learning - you can do the latter without going to college. But for now, I will be honing my writing, reading more, learning more, coding more, and (hopefully) posting more.
