Buttoo often,mostwomen are not supported or arefrom choosing their path.I hope it could be changed.For me,it was a（n）of resilience(堅忍)．What others marked asabout me—my race,my gender（性別）—I accepted as fuel for my success.I never let anything or anyoneme.I controlled my future.

For everything I have achieved，I am tohave experienced the highs and lows that comesuccess.I hope my story will be a(n)for women to fight for their dreams.We mus to dream big,and in doing so,we en-able the next generation of women to bein their pursuit.
