What does an achievement mean?
Whether it's working hard at your favorite subject or baking a cake for your friends, putting effort into something that makes you happy is an achievement. 21 It can be something that no one else sees but you feel, such as making it through a difficult day or speaking up in class. Anything that involves(涉及) hard work, courage or skill can be seen as an achievement.
