He continued, "I dreamed of being a student activist, but in my third year of university I decided to become a scholar and achieved that dream. After working as a professor for 13 years and then as an administrator for five years, I have continued to nurture my dream as a politician," and emphasized, "Dreams can always change, and to pursue further challenges in achieving dreams, one must continuously develop oneself."
