Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Immigrating as a 6 year old, learning a new language and culture, and finding a sense of belonging wasn't always easy. However, I also had a lot of guidance and wonderful people helping me along the way, and these challenges became opportunities for me to grow as well as leave my mark on my new surroundings.
