I hold score, shaking, and motionless. I had known SAT score was going to be challenge exam, but the result still shocked me. Throughout my school career education.

My father supported me when I was struggling to deal with this important exam in my education and career. He said: "Son, you will miss one hundred percent of shot, if you don't take." "Life is only giving you the best, when you try your best." He helped me realized what I should do for my life and my future. I looked back at my school grades and find my motivation to learn. Finally, I realize all the achievement made me a special person, a person with commitment, dedication, and passionate feeling toward learning. Even though I may not be the brightest and most intelligent person, but determination and attitude have change "overconfident attitude" the part of me. .
             The SAT program helped me improve my weakness on the SAT I, especially my vocabulary. The usage of vocabulary also helps me improve communication with other.
