Imagine living in a fantasy world where everything is pitch perfect the way you wanted to be, but then, you wake up to the harsh reality to feel trapped and animated on the inside. This is how I first view my life story for the last three years. At first, I never thought this class would help me realize who I am nor what I have to value until eight weeks ago.

For example, the story of the boy who cry wolf, where a shepherd boy would make a false acquisition about wolf attacking the sheep and the town people would believe him and try to defend the sheep from the wolf, but to find out that the boy was lying, so eventually the town people stop listening to the boy and one day a pack of wolf appeared and the boy called for help but no one showed up and he eventually got eaten by the wolf. So, the moral of the story is to never lie because if you do, then no one will believe in
