"Even though my parents (6) (not give) me any pressure, I (7) (be) stressed and sometimes I couldn't sleep. As I (8) (be) the only child in my family, I need to earn a living for them," he said.

Though he could not continue his studies in his old school, he was not disappointed because he (10) (find) his new goal - to become a designer.
