By Glory Fu on March 07, 2016 / 18,584 views

I’m an English self-learner; English is not my first language. Today I am an English teacher. I would like to voice that failures are not disastrous. Have faith, keep moving on, and never give up, you will see your hard work pay off. I was a slow learner when I was little. Before five, I couldn’t even speak in full sentences. Unlike most other children, I seldom interacted with others; I...
