The participants were also given the message to keep trying and writing, because only then our ability to write will continue to increase. This activity also reflects that learning is not only done in writing in the classroom. There are some lessons that can only be obtained from experience, whether it is experienced by ourselves or the experiences of others who are told to us. In closing, remember not to be afraid to try, because a million steps always start from one small step.
