“Meeting different people have definitely changed me as a person throughout my life. The people I have met in my life helped guide me to who I am today, those people changed my perspective on a lot of things throughout my life. People can definitely have an influence on who you become because it’s the impact that they leave on you, and I can say that the people I have met have shaped me into a person I’ve always wanted to become.”

“Advice that I would give to someone who is struggling, I would tell them to never give up, no matter how cliche it is, it’s important to know that giving up isn’t or shouldn’t be an option. There’s always good that comes from bad. No matter what you are going through, there is always a good outcome in the end; It may not seem to be that way, but it’s something better to tell yourself than having to give up as an option on your list. If you want to be a good person or become successful or achieve a goal or maybe even multiple goals, you have to keep pushing yourself in order to accomplish those things. Giving up is not an option. Don’t let these hard times or struggles break you down, you’re strong and can overcome anything thrown in your way”
