I put on my glasses, washed my black hair, and fed my husky Chloe …and that was when I got the call.

My choices in life were made by myself, and I believe that we can make our own decisions. The reason why I think like that is that I was taught the way, and it is also thanks to my family who encourage me to make my own decisions.
