Model answer: 

One risk I took was starting my own tech company in Vietnam. I left my safe, well-paying job and invested my savings into this venture. I took this risk because I saw Vietnam’s tech industry growing fast and wanted to be part of it.

At first, I was scared. I worried about failing and losing all my money. But, to my surprise, within a year, my company gained significant investment, and our first product was a success. 

This positive result gave me joy and relief. I felt proud of myself for taking the risk. It boosted my confidence and taught me the importance of taking chances.

In Vietnam, people often prefer stable jobs for security. My decision was challenging because it went against this norm. But Vietnam’s tech scene inspired me to take this bold step. In the end, it was worth it.

Taking that risk changed my life for the better. It was scary but rewarding. It made me stronger and more resilient.
