What is an important lesson you’ve learned recently?
“An important lesson I’ve learned recently is that no matter how many times you may fail or not get what you want, the good people around you supporting you will help you get back up time and time again. The closest people around you, family or not, are your motivators, supporters, and source of happiness in your life and as long as you have that and those people around you, you can achieve anything and you will never be alone. Everyone has setbacks and everyone fails and doesn’t reach their goal the first time and it may seem like the end of the world but it’s not and those people will tell you that and they will help and push you to be your best. Close friends and family mean so much more than a good grade or a trophy because those relationships will last a lifetime and what they give to you, you will give back to them and that is something that can’t be bought, only enjoyed. So keep your best friends, mentors, family, etc. close to you, because they will be your rock when times are tough.”
