I was asked this question during the Dec 6 Beginners' Cup of the Division I of Toastmasters Club District 75. It was nervewracking to answer an impromptu question thrown at you with all eyes watching your every word.
I almost went blackout. I stumbled then I realize what makes life beautiful are the failures and mistakes we encountered along the way because they made us stronger and better versions of ourselves. I recounted how I failed to graduate with Latin honors and how devastated my family is. Afterall, they perceived me as an achiever having been a consistent honor student since elementary.
