This video is similar to what happened to me. I was from a humble family from Syria and we left our homes because of the war. Years later, I decided to learn languages and began to improve my English in Syria, knowing that there was no internet or electricity. Every day there was an hour. Only one electricity and the rest of the day without electricity. I studied high school and decided to travel to Russia to learn the Russian language, and now I am in Finland and I am trying to learn the Finnish language and I want to study languages when enrolling in university and Thank you for this wonderful channel. I have been following you for several years, and this story inspired me very much
Your Eyes and Voice show so much Gratitude & Hard work you and your family put together for you to be here... An inspirational and out of the box thing. Proud of you and your family
This humble story motivates me to go ahead in learning languages. I'm an Ukrainian teenager who will learn five languages in the next five years. Although it's slightly challenging to live in Ukraine with the current situation, I don't give up on my learning and life. Hard work, sooner or later, will bear delicious fruit. Thank you, everybody for reading my teeny tiny comment. Best regards from Ukraine! Peace to all the world! Edited Thank you so much, guys, for your support!
I cried for this video. I'm Vietnamese, and we relatively share the same social standards and university life. I am studying for my second bachelor's degree in Hungary and planning to earn a master's in France. I am also trying to learn three foreign languages for a better career. Your video touches my soul and lightens up my path. Thank you so much, and I hope I will have a chance to meet you in France someday.
I'm a German that loves languages and often feel discouraged when I face all the difficulties that seem impossible to overcome in Korean and Chinese, but after watching your video and listening to your motivating story, I feel like I got more fuel again to keep going and push trough. So I want to say, Zoe, thank you very much for sharing your motivating and inspiring story with us or in Chinese Zoe 我想要告诉你感谢, 我觉得你很棒! I'm proud of you and your achievements. I hope my potentially insignificant comment can make it to you and that I will be able to overcome my challenges like you did. If there is any kind soul that reads this comment and would like to help me make my comment reach her, please leave a like. I wish everyone good luck on their language journey.
Learning languages seemed impossible to me time ego, now I am learning everyday as much as I can, I am learning from people like you, so I am grateful about that.
@@morganedelsanti8726 Thank you. We always need to try harder every day and also need to motivate ourselves to do well! Even though many times, when learning a new language, I feel like giving up... Today, I watched this video and received your encouragement. I will definitely try my best and not give up. Wishing you happiness always❤️
Your video was profoundly moving and incredibly inspiring. It stands out as the finest piece of content on your CZcams channel. I am deeply grateful that you opened up about the hurdles you faced while adapting to life in France, from mastering a new language to navigating your academic pursuits. The depth of your love for your family in China resonated strongly throughout your narrative. Thank you for letting us into your world, Zoe.
Your story is so inspirational as well as your positivity through it all. I haven’t found many videos that talk about the part of moving to new country that is really lonely and isolating when you can’t express yourself well in a language. I also moved to France/Mayotte and have found my confidence has tanked from not being able to make friends or to express myself at work in the same manner as before. Thank you so much for sharing your story
Zoe your channel is amazing and we are grateful for sharing your knowledge and story ; it's very inspiring and touching I wish you more luck and success 💖
Zoe, you are absolutely incredible. Congratulations on everything you have achieved. As an only child who is also living abroad and trying to create a life for myself in a language different from my own, I can see the blood, sweat, and tears you have shed to fight for your dream. I am in awe of and inspired by your life and I thank you for sharing your story with us.
I have seen your emotions from eyes to be nearly filling with tears which come from happiness, totally understandable this feeling because of being in this condition before. Congratulations for your achievements which are truly having sacrifice
Your story and your challenges have been incredibly inspiring. I sincerely congratulate you for staying strong in the face of adversity and developing solutions. Thank you for sharing your story so openly and sincerely. ❤
when you kept saying i have achieved my dreams and is the person who I wished to be, i'm so happy and proud of you. Such a resilient and hard working woman, you truly show its all possible!
You are a lovely person Zoe. Thank you for sharing your story, it was inspiring. I wish you all the best and even greater success in achieving your goals and dreams!
A very emotional story zoe. I really loved hearing the challenges you overcome to become who you are.I could feel the pain in your voice when you were saying your health became poor because of over work. A good decision to reduce your workload and pay for health. Regarding study abroad, even I gave up my dream for study abroad seeing tuition fees in US. It is only after I got know about tuition fees in Europe that fulfilled my dream.And yes it comes with the caveat of learning the local language.And from struggling to learn French you have now become a polygot.So proud of you!!!
Thank you for sharing your journey Zoe! I’m always curious to know how people end up abroad and what their motivations are. You’re one of my favorite language learners to learn from because of the fact that your achievements started from the bottom and you’re a normal person who wanted to learn other languages. I’m the same in that I also want to live abroad and be fluent in several languages. Right now that’s French, Korean and Mandarin. Everyone let’s keep working hard 💪🏼
I LOVED THIS! ❤ Thank you so much for share your experiences and struggles, that inspire and encourage me a lot specifically now that I’m struggling with my learning German journey and sometimes when I want give up I forget that is a process, step by step and I can do it! 💪🏼
Hi Zoe, I have only just came across your channel, glad I decided to check it out, I actually watched the whole session of this vlog and found what you shared is so inspiring. Thankyou for making this video it means a lot to me, I was struggling to decide whether I should pursue a course that I’ve been interested in for years. Now I know what to do thanks to this vlog you have shared.
Hello Zoe, through these words I want to congratulate you for all your achievements and wish you all the best for the future, you are a great inspiration for me, at 40 years old I decided to start studying English and I have been watching your videos daily for months now, I would like to achieve an intermediate level of English in the future, although I know the road is long, but as you say, this is not a race, it is like a marathon. I send you a kiss from Uruguay and many successes for your future, you have our support as subscribers of your channel, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us. Greetings
Thank you for sharing your journey, Zoe. It's very inspiring. I can see myself going through a similar journey as yours. I too have aspirations to work overseas, but I doubt myself because I haven't seen anyone else who feels the need to go overseas. Through your eyes, I can see how grateful you are to bet on yourself, and I want to do the same.
I have listened to your story on your Chinese channel and I am glad that you posted a video about it here as well, with much more different details. I felt so moved by your emotions and noticed your eyes almost in tears at some points. Thank you so much for taking courage and sharing your story. Thank you for showing us what has been behind the scenes, the difficulties you have been through. Your "weaknesses" and how you overcome difficulties help people relate more to you and even find solutions and encouragement for their lives. Personally, I would like to hear more stories from your life about anything, especially how did you overcome certain challenges. I would also like to know how do you prepare for an exam (ex. Study methods, routines), how to heal from burnout, what are your future plans after completing your PhD. I would also love to see your daily routine videos of different day sequences. By the way, there was such a video on your channel, but now is unavailable and I am so sorry. Everytime I feel unmotivated, watching your routine gives me a fresh motivation. I have been through my last BA year with a lot of inspiration taken from you. Maybe in one video you would like to share with us how your teacher life and goals look like. To be a teacher suits you so well. I would love to hear more about Zoe the teacher and maybe you can share more books and journals you have read and even articles you published. I know this message is quite long, but I am very enthusiastic about this video and your openness. I wish you all the best with your exams and presentation and hope to hear from you soon. Lady A.
Very inspiring story, Zoe! I'm sure your story will have a great impact to others who are going through similar experiences as your earlier life, and eventually find and live the life they enjoy.
Your story really touched me and I really do appreciate everything that you’ve been sharing! You’re such an inspiration and an amazing person, just keep going, keep being your best version of yourself! Greetings from Brazil!
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. It is very inspiring to see there are people like you in this world who are always looking to learn the beautiful side of things. I hope to meet you in person one day. 2 thumbs up from Canada.
inspirante! What a refreshing approach to language learning! Instead of feeling overwhelmed by grammar rules and vocabulary lists, this vlog makes it feel natural and enjoyable. Plus, with Immersive Translate, I can explore Spanish content online with ease, reinforcing what I've learned in the vlog. Can't wait to see where this journey takes me!
I love this, what really struck me is hearing you speak about supportive and loving parents...I strive for that relationship with my girls in the future, where I hope they feel they have a friend in me as a parent.
Zoe, I love your life story, I think you are an example of life for many people. Your perseverance, mental strength and love for what you do is a great inspiration to never give up on my goals.
Love this! I study Chinese at university as an adult just because I love languages. It is unusual and I have different struggles and pressures than my classmates. I am the same age as my professors and sometimes I feel embarrassed that they have important careers and I don't. But mostly I feel so lucky to have the time to study while also doing my time-flexible job. One of my much younger classmates said "wow. I guess you really can change your whole life even when you are old!" So I felt proud and glad he learned that from my experience. 😂 我刚刚认识到应该练习中文写这篇文章。”篇文章”我刚刚学习这个新词。
thanks so much for this amazing video. I was feeling quite lost about what I wanted to do with my life, hearing about your experience was a great inspiration and motivation. wish you all the best!
Thank you for this very moving video! I started my French language lessons about 3 years ago, and I truly appreciate how hard you have worked. I had a similar experience to yours when I studied in Germany. I became fluent in German by immersing myself in all kinds of activities when I wasn't in class. It was so painful but satisfying. Now that I'm in my 70's, and learning French, I am having so many memories of those earlier struggles. Your videos inspire me to persevere!
More power to you, Zoe, thanks for sharing your story. You've achieved so much academically and in the languages sphere - your parents must be very proud of you. I speak reasonably good French which I learned immersively while travelling there often. I'm on my fourth year of learning Mandarin and I love how efficient and logical a language it is 🀄️🤩🎷
Such a bold resilience, a tender radiance to your story, Zoe. A woman in the world and a world in the woman. It's impossible to glimpse this road you've traveled and not jump up from my seat and yell, Bravo, Zoe! Bravo!
Hi Zoe, thanks for your sharing and you said many Chinese students experienced. Very happy that you find your way and maybe encourage lost of Chinese students to dare to change their life, thank you!
Thank you Zoe for describing your experience. I am older but we share a similar journey and you give me motivation to keep learning and being curious and active in a difficult time in my life. And what you said about work culture in China ...I can confirm everything! I am Italian but my first real job was in China so let's say I received the baptism of fire lol!
Thank you so much for this video, these days I am dealing with many hardships and need something like this. Now I'm inspired by you and I'll try again even if I have to deal with lots of fails and bad situations :) thank u so much. ❤❤
Very interesting and inspiring story. Thanks for sharing. I'm in the process of studying in a foreign language. I perceive the difficulty, but I try to stick to the one little goal at a time. It seems reasonable and doable. I agree with the growth mindset you talk about in the video. I experienced something similar, although in my case I always knew I could learn everything. It's just that I needed a shift towards an "apply and commit to that" mindset.
Thank you for sharing your language and life journey story. I came across your videos when I sought other tools to aid my learning of Mandarin. The growth mindset concept is one that really resonates with me, as I've felt that my career wouldn't be what it has become without that focus and belief foundation. You are the perfect example that it is real and not just a concept. You are a genuine person and an excellent storyteller. Keep up the good work and good luck on your thesis!
Chapeau ! Et bravo ! Une vidéo très inspirante. Après avoir échoué dans mon apprentissage des langues (notamment arabe, mandarin), il y a une chose que j’ai apprise : il n’y a rien que l’on ne puisse apprendre, c’est une question de temps et d’effort. Cette vidéo en est le parfait exemple. Je me répète : encore bravo pour votre parcours et bonne chance pour la suite.
Dein Englisch ist eine Wohltat für meine deutschen Ohren. Ich habe alles verstanden, ohne mich groß anstrengen zu müssen. Vielen Dank für das tolle Video. LG
Hey Zoe! Thanks so much for sharing! I totally relate and even cried while watching it. Also completely agree navigating challenges in stretch zones boosts confidence and cultivates a growth mindset! I would like to hear more about how to cultivate growth mindset, how to navigate challenges and low times, how to handle life uncertainties, and maybe your plan after phd. Thanks again and best wishes to you❤
you have been on many very challenging years in the bloom of your adult life, I am glad to see that through all of that pain and struggle you found a happy road I salute your courage and persistence to live the life you want and wish the best for yours next miles greetings from Italy
so inspiring!!! I come from a regular family as well and they have a fixed mindset, even now. my mom and dad couldn't effort for me to have a higher study so I have worked so hard, no party, no shopping at all just to save up and pursue my dream which is studying abroad and see how big the world is. Now I'm nearly there and I feel like age and your background cannot stop you no matter what. thank you for your wonderful sharing. love
I just started learning mandarin I came across the same video on your Chinese channel recently. I was so sad I couldn’t understand much. You can only imagine my happiness when I saw this video in English today! Your story is so inspiring Zoe and as someone that shares some languages (English, Persian and Arabic) I really hope we bump into each other some day (I live in London lol). 加油!!
Thankyou for the motivation 😭 I was feeling lost with Japanese and so I started Korean, Spanish and German but was lost again. This video motivated me to never give up 🙌🏻 and keep moving forward. Thankyou so much 🙇🏻♀️
Thank you Zoe. You've reenforced my willingness to go to France and pursue another master degree of art. Yes, starting to learn everything from scratch, learning french and art history. But it's just the process that you've got to work on and it's a key to a bright future. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video, I really loved it, and I think it might be my favorite so far. Yes it is incredibly inspirational, i want to make sure I save the address so I don't lose it and can share it. And yes it would be great, IMO, to see more videos in which you tell your story and how you manage to get where your are. Thank you again, all the best!
Omg Zoe jie this is such an inspiring story and so relatable in terms of Asian study and work culture 🤣 I’m in the same boat pursuing Japanese and Arabic and thinking of a postgrad degree too. Your two channels are legit the only ones I watch when it comes to language learning and academic studies ❤
Thank you for sharing your story! I can understand you, because my parents come from Vietnam, but i was born in Europe. So, i had a better start than you though, because i learned different values in Europe from the very start of my life, still my parent‘s mindset kind of held me back in my development in comparison to,other people here - so i can imagine, how many burdens you have put behind you on your way. Congratulations for that! 🥳 You are very inspiring. Also i am glad that you‘ve mentioned how long it took you to reach a proficient level in Arabic. I love the culture and the language, but it really broke my self-esteem. I started over and over again, but it won’t stick to my head. If you say that after one year it was still not enough, i feel relieved that I am not dumb. Again congratulations for having reached your goals. You are a beautiful example for a cosmopolitan from the old world. Classy, educated and refined. 😊
Zoeeeeeeeeee don't cry! of course this video motivated us to not give up on our dreams!!! we're so proud of you and thanks for your powerful words! we have to be our best friend ourselves
Very inspiring. Great parents. Truly self motivated. Very very touching life achievements and yet so young. Yet so a humble sharing. Wish you all the best ahead.
I was searching for some tips on your channel, this video goes beyond all the tips you’ve shared in your channel so far. Such an inspirational and motivating story! 🤩🤩🤩 Thank you for sharing it.
This video is similar to what happened to me. I was from a humble family from Syria and we left our homes because of the war. Years later, I decided to learn languages and began to improve my English in Syria, knowing that there was no internet or electricity. Every day there was an hour. Only one electricity and the rest of the day without electricity. I studied high school and decided to travel to Russia to learn the Russian language, and now I am in Finland and I am trying to learn the Finnish language and I want to study languages when enrolling in university and Thank you for this wonderful channel.

This humble story motivates me to go ahead in learning languages.
I'm an Ukrainian teenager who will learn five languages in the next five years. Although it's slightly challenging to live in Ukraine with the current situation, I don't give up on my learning and life. Hard work, sooner or later, will bear delicious fruit.
Thank you, everybody for reading my teeny tiny comment.
Best regards from Ukraine!
Peace to all the world!

你很棒，加油，被你真诚描述的经历深深的触动，我现在在日本生活，同样感同身受，面临语言不通的问题，好在日语里有大量汉字，生活方面问题还不大，经历了艰难的两年，感觉慢慢适应了，我面临的是创业压力，跟你当时面临的问题可以不一样，也很难，语言也是一大难题，被你的视频鼓舞，没有退路可言，只有坚持这条路，付出十倍的努力，谢谢你的分享！共勉！
在外漂泊不易，收获也很多，共勉，加油！

Hi Zoe, I have only just came across your channel, glad I decided to check it out, I actually watched the whole session of this vlog and found what you shared is so inspiring. Thankyou for making this video it means a lot to me, I was struggling to decide whether I should pursue a course that I’ve been interested in for years. Now I know what to do thanks to this vlog you have shared.
Hello Zoe, through these words I want to congratulate you for all your achievements and wish you all the best for the future, you are a great inspiration for me, at 40 years old I decided to start studying English and I have been watching your videos daily for months now, I would like to achieve an intermediate level of English in the future, although I know the road is long, but as you say, this is not a race, it is like a marathon.
I send you a kiss from Uruguay and many successes for your future, you have our support as subscribers of your channel, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us.
Greetings
Thank you for sharing your journey, Zoe. It's very inspiring. I can see myself going through a similar journey as yours. I too have aspirations to work overseas, but I doubt myself because I haven't seen anyone else who feels the need to go overseas. Through your eyes, I can see how grateful you are to bet on yourself, and I want to do the same.
I have listened to your story on your Chinese channel and I am glad that you posted a video about it here as well, with much more different details. I felt so moved by your emotions and noticed your eyes almost in tears at some points. Thank you so much for taking courage and sharing your story. Thank you for showing us what has been behind the scenes, the difficulties you have been through. Your "weaknesses" and how you overcome difficulties help people relate more to you and even find solutions and encouragement for their lives. Personally, I would like to hear more stories from your life about anything, especially how did you overcome certain challenges. I would also like to know how do you prepare for an exam (ex. Study methods, routines), how to heal from burnout, what are your future plans after completing your PhD. I would also love to see your daily routine videos of different day sequences. By the way, there was such a video on your channel, but now is unavailable and I am so sorry. Everytime I feel unmotivated, watching your routine gives me a fresh motivation. I have been through my last BA year with a lot of inspiration taken from you. Maybe in one video you would like to share with us how your teacher life and goals look like. To be a teacher suits you so well. I would love to hear more about Zoe the teacher and maybe you can share more books and journals you have read and even articles you published. I know this message is quite long, but I am very enthusiastic about this video and your openness. I wish you all the best with your exams and presentation and hope to hear from you soon.
Lady A.

Congratulations Zoe, your channel is amazing! 🔥非常鼓舞人心!
I loved this video, I really did.
Greetings from Spain, Zoe.
I'm looking forward next video.
Thank you so much for this video, these days I am dealing with many hardships and need something like this. Now I'm inspired by you and I'll try again even if I have to deal with lots of fails and bad situations :) thank u so much. ❤❤
this was so inspiring ❤ thank you for sharing your story
Your story was very touching, especially the part about your supportive family. I'm sure they are as incredibly proud of you as you are of them 😊
thanks for being so relatable, i admire your energetic and magnetic aura
Your journey is amazing and praise worthy under so many points of views. Wow!
Very interesting and inspiring story. Thanks for sharing. I'm in the process of studying in a foreign language. I perceive the difficulty, but I try to stick to the one little goal at a time. It seems reasonable and doable. I agree with the growth mindset you talk about in the video. I experienced something similar, although in my case I always knew I could learn everything. It's just that I needed a shift towards an "apply and commit to that" mindset.
Thank you for sharing your language and life journey story. I came across your videos when I sought other tools to aid my learning of Mandarin. The growth mindset concept is one that really resonates with me, as I've felt that my career wouldn't be what it has become without that focus and belief foundation. You are the perfect example that it is real and not just a concept. You are a genuine person and an excellent storyteller. Keep up the good work and good luck on your thesis!
Wow, this is truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing🥰
Thank you for sharing your life and successes journey. It is very inspiring and motivating... I wish you all the best for your future endeavour.
Thanks for making this video, ive always been curious about your life before studying in Europe
Thankyou . This was better than listening 100 motivation videos .
Chapeau ! Et bravo !
Une vidéo très inspirante.
Après avoir échoué dans mon apprentissage des langues (notamment arabe, mandarin), il y a une chose que j’ai apprise : il n’y a rien que l’on ne puisse apprendre, c’est une question de temps et d’effort.
Cette vidéo en est le parfait exemple.
Je me répète : encore bravo pour votre parcours et bonne chance pour la suite.
Your story is very motivating and shows how hard work and perseverance can go far.
You have such an inspiring story Zoe! I'm really happy to hear about your accomplishments. 😍😍❤️
Dein Englisch ist eine Wohltat für meine deutschen Ohren. Ich habe alles verstanden, ohne mich groß anstrengen zu müssen. Vielen Dank für das tolle Video. LG
BEST VIDEO EVER ZOE!!!!! Ich meine es, wirklich!!!
Hey Zoe! Thanks so much for sharing! I totally relate and even cried while watching it. Also completely agree navigating challenges in stretch zones boosts confidence and cultivates a growth mindset! I would like to hear more about how to cultivate growth mindset, how to navigate challenges and low times, how to handle life uncertainties, and maybe your plan after phd.
Thanks again and best wishes to you❤
Will do 🥰🥰
Thank you... It was really inspirational.
I needed it thanks❤❤❤
you have been on many very challenging years in the bloom of your adult life, I am glad to see that through all of that pain and struggle you found a happy road
I salute your courage and persistence to live the life you want and wish the best for yours next miles
greetings from Italy
so inspiring!!! I come from a regular family as well and they have a fixed mindset, even now. my mom and dad couldn't effort for me to have a higher study so I have worked so hard, no party, no shopping at all just to save up and pursue my dream which is studying abroad and see how big the world is. Now I'm nearly there and I feel like age and your background cannot stop you no matter what. thank you for your wonderful sharing. love
I just started learning mandarin I came across the same video on your Chinese channel recently. I was so sad I couldn’t understand much. You can only imagine my happiness when I saw this video in English today! Your story is so inspiring Zoe and as someone that shares some languages (English, Persian and Arabic) I really hope we bump into each other some day (I live in London lol). 加油!!
Wow! This was an inspiring story. Great job, I feel genuinely proud of you :)
Zoe, your story is inspiring!
Thankyou for the motivation 😭 I was feeling lost with Japanese and so I started Korean, Spanish and German but was lost again. This video motivated me to never give up 🙌🏻 and keep moving forward. Thankyou so much 🙇🏻♀️
Thank you Zoe. You've reenforced my willingness to go to France and pursue another master degree of art. Yes, starting to learn everything from scratch, learning french and art history. But it's just the process that you've got to work on and it's a key to a bright future. Thank you so much!
always come back to your channel whenever I feel that I'm losing my motivation
I really admire your journey. Really look up to you as how I want to become to be able to speak multi languages which I like. Thank you very much!
Thank you for this video, I really loved it, and I think it might be my favorite so far. Yes it is incredibly inspirational, i want to make sure I save the address so I don't lose it and can share it. And yes it would be great, IMO, to see more videos in which you tell your story and how you manage to get where your are. Thank you again, all the best!
Thank you very much. You are an inspiration.
You are a wonderful person, thanks for your company
Omg Zoe jie this is such an inspiring story and so relatable in terms of Asian study and work culture 🤣 I’m in the same boat pursuing Japanese and Arabic and thinking of a postgrad degree too. Your two channels are legit the only ones I watch when it comes to language learning and academic studies ❤
You are an inspiration Zoe 🎉🎉. Keep moving.
Bravo Zoe pour votre parcours, votre ténacité est un exemple pour beaucoup qui souhaitent réussir dans leurs études ou dans leur projet professionnel.
Thank you for sharing your story! I can understand you, because my parents come from Vietnam, but i was born in Europe. So, i had a better start than you though, because i learned different values in Europe from the very start of my life, still my parent‘s mindset kind of held me back in my development in comparison to,other people here - so i can imagine, how many burdens you have put behind you on your way. Congratulations for that! 🥳 You are very inspiring.
Also i am glad that you‘ve mentioned how long it took you to reach a proficient level in Arabic. I love the culture and the language, but it really broke my self-esteem. I started over and over again, but it won’t stick to my head. If you say that after one year it was still not enough, i feel relieved that I am not dumb.
Again congratulations for having reached your goals. You are a beautiful example for a cosmopolitan from the old world. Classy, educated and refined. 😊
Zoeeeeeeeeee don't cry! of course this video motivated us to not give up on our dreams!!! we're so proud of you and thanks for your powerful words! we have to be our best friend ourselves
Very inspiring. Great parents. Truly self motivated. Very very touching life achievements and yet so young. Yet so a humble sharing. Wish you all the best ahead.
Thank you for the video, you inspire me so much! ❤️
I speak Spanish, English and currently improving my French and learning Russian 🫶🏼
You are such a great source of inspiration and a role model to me. شكراً جزيلاً زوي
تمنياتي لكي بالتوفيق و النجاح. 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this❤ it really encourages me, I am also immigrant and sometimes it seems very difficult to achieve my goals. Thanks❤
The greatest history. Thank you, Zoe, for everything.
That was a superb video, beatiful teacher. Thanks for sharing.
Hats off, amazing story, some very touching moments there, that is how it is done...

Such a very intelligent young woman and so very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story. 🙏
I watched the video and found it very inspiring. I see you as my leader.
