Bill Gates, Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, and Susan B.

Some people achieve more than others. The reason for the contrast in the achievement of the person is different personalities, socio cultural context, and how highly motivated spur on to do better.

In 2016, I became a participant of the JET Program as an assistant language teacher (ALT) after applying for the third time.
