The first time when I knew the world was a night of May in 2004. It was in a village within Wuntho Township in Sagaing Division. That night was very wonderful for my family. I was born in the time my mother was 40 years old. And then I am the youngest in my family. I have my grandma, parents, two elder sister and one elder brother. My family do mainly farming. When I was a child, almost every time was very happy. The first time I went to school was only 5 years old. It was nursery school. After that, I went to primary school. My parents encouraged my sisters, brother and including me to be educated because they did not attend the school until the end. But, when I was in grade (1), my eldest sister fled from the school because she was scared to educate. And, after that, my next sister and my brother did like my eldest sister. So, my grandma and parents were hopeless. And they expected on me in education very much. On the other hand, I passed easily primary school and secondary school. Moreover, I had to go to Wuntho for attending in high school. It was a challenge for me and the hope of my family. There were a lot of relatives such as my uncles and aunt from both sides of my parents in Wuntho. I had to chose to live. So, I chose my aunt’s house from my mother’s side for living and eating food. And my aunt has also one daughter and one son older than me. But her son was in the same grade in school. And I had to study to my uncle’s house from my mother’s side. My uncle has two daughters older than me. One of his daughters was studying in abroad and one taught me subjects for the grade 8. Besides she sent me to the English tuition in order to improve English skills. English teacher was good at teaching and he is the famous teacher in Wuntho. Although he was good at teaching, I did not do regularly homework that he gave. So, my English skill did not improve as much as my sister and my family hoped. When I was in the grade 9, the subjects are described in English except Myanmar. In that time, I faced a lot of difficulties about English. But I could pass the grade 9 conveniently and comfortably because the examination was tested from the school. In grade 10, I also faced a lot of difficulties about English and I had to study hard because the examination was tested by the government. It was the greatest challenge for me. And my family and my relatives hoped on me about the matriculation examination very much. But when the results of the exam left, I passed the exam fortunately without colors. After the exam, as I wanted to go other places where I have not been before, I did not have chance because of the Covid-19 disease which is happening all over the world. That disease was a type of diseases which is contagious through air. At that time, the towns and cities were locked down. Besides, people had to put on masks on their faces. On the other hand, that disease was killed so many people in various standard of class. Especially, I could not be happy in the Thingyan Festival in that year. I did not do anything as I am living in my house. My family did not blame me in living like that firstly. After some time, my parents told me to help in their work, farming. But I did not listen to them. So, I frighted with them almost every day. As I really wanted to help them, I did not have enough force. But I helped the works that I could. Mostly, I spent unbeneficially most of my time using my phone. As I am a teenager, I wanted to live freely and sometimes I wish I went to the other places where it was far from my family. And the time had gone quickly in the time I did not know. As the time passes, 2021, new year came quickly. 2021 was the worst year Not only for me, but for the entire country of Myanmar. The leader of the military controlled the power of the country on February ,2021. On that day, the military cut down the phone lines, internet, tv programs except their channel such as MRTV, MRTV-4, MRTV Entertainment and so on. And then, they announced in MRTV at 3:00 pm that they controlled the country’s power. Everybody including me could not accept about that. After a few days, many people expect people who accept the military protested on the road of villages, cities and towns. I also protested because I did not accept about that. I had a lot of friends who accepted it. But I also had many friends who did not about that. And then, there were a lot of differences in understanding each other about controlling the power of the country among friends. My family and people in my country faced many problems since the military coup. Since that period, there were economic recession and civil war in the country. Because of economic recession, many people were unemployed. On the other hand, many people were dead in civil war of the country. But the military did not stop killing people. So, many adults and many rich families went to abroad because of many situations such as their education, their business and their livelihood. During the military coup, I planned to go to abroad by discussing with my cousin sister who have been studying in abroad. After that, I learned using the computer because I did not know anything about the computer. So, I learned using the computer in my sister house in Wuntho for 2 months. After that, I planned to study for the entrance exam in Mandalay. Therefore, I went to Mandalay. When I arrived to Mandalay, the one that I felt immediately was the weather. The weather is so hot. Besides, I had to live on rent in Mandalay. The house that I found was not good to live. Then I went on searching house. The next that I found was suitable for living on rent and the hosts were benevolent. Moreover, as I ate food that was cooked by my mom at home, I had a problem in cooking food. At first, I was convenient by eating food that was sent by my sister in Wuntho. When food that was sent was run out, I ate ready-made food. They are not good for my health if I eat them every day. On the other hand, I was convenient with the courses that I attended for the entrance exam because my sister searched for the courses that was suitable. Besides, I prefer the physical courses to the online courses. So, I had to go to the courses in the morning and in the evening. I was afraid of riding motorbike in the first time when I arrived to Mandalay. But I had to ride to go to the courses. And then, I had a problem in remembering the numbers of the streets in Mandalay. My sister who lived with me together taught how to take account of the numbers of the streets. Finally, almost everything was convenient.
