Jesselyn, a Grade 9 student and teen who attends Sekolah Victory Plus, has always been aware of both the challenges and rewards that come with the path of life—not just bound to the academic course. She witnesses the feeling of maturing; growing up from a child to a teen, she comprehended the feeling of perceiving and being perceived. Understanding this, she comes to a final judgment on the importance of understanding herself, particularly in light of how slowly one's sense of self can be destroyed by the pressures of growing up. As a result, she delves into the depths of the topic, and after extensive research linked with personal experience, she finds out two things: one, that she is not the only one that might feel this way, and two, that many factors can be beneficial in aiding the understanding of yourself.
