Courage made me grow into a poetry reader.

Everyone's growth has his own story. These stories recorded our footprints and witnessed our growth. The following are five different stories, recording five different kinds of growth.

Footprints of travel

A private trip, behind my parents' backs, we made a wonderful trip together for a month. Every landscape and every culture is engraved in my heart. The challenges in the journey, now, are my growing footprints.

The courage of self-transcendence

At the moment of skydiving, I felt the freedom I had never had before. The vastness of the sky made me forget all the constraints. That kind of heartbeat, that kind of self-transcendence is the source of my courage to face life.

The power of faith

Carrying a demon tattoo is a persistent pursuit of dreams. Although my parents can't understand it, the power of this belief makes me go forward bravely.

Perseverance spirit

Karate not only exercised my body, but also taught me perseverance. I found the secret garden of self-growth without telling my parents.

Find your own rhythm

The carnival of the music festival released all my pressure. I understand my parents' worries, but I know how to find my own rhythm and happiness in life.
