a. Website :

     b. Audio name : Deshauna Barber "GIVING UP IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF REGRETS"

     c.  Level : Intermediate/medium. 

     d. Summary  

   Someone ever told Deshauna that she could be one of the Miss USA one day. Deshauna tried six times but she lost. Then she told Deshauna to keep working and don't quit. But then 6 months later, Deshauna won Miss District of Columbia USA, and 6 months after that she become the first soldier to win Miss USA. Giving up is the birth of regrets. Many of us have goals we're trying to achieve but the person we are right now is not the person that we need to be when crossing the finish line to our dreams. So we must walk and pace ourselves in this journey to our goals because we haven't grown enough in ourselves. So sit the shoes that we need to achieve our aspirations. 

e. Vocabularies

- Terrify : takut/khawatir.

     f. Activities 

      I listened and watched the video. At first, I watched it without subtitles, and then I watched it again with subtitles to help me understand it better.

     g. Things I learn from this topic and the benefit

I learn that don't fear failure but be terrified of regret. Don't be afraid of nos, be afraid of the possibility of the yes that you have prematurely destroyed because you decided to quit before the clock strikes 12. The reality of life is that we hear more nos than we hear yeses.
