However, there is a point when an individual demonstrates their true qualities or characteristics, which would not have come to light unless an adversity had risen.

This being my senior year, I always expected it to be the most laid back and relaxing year of my high school career.

Although, under all this immense pressure, this is where my true colors came out. I didn’t stop working to my full potential,…

I feel serenity knowing that I am the only one who can break myself down just to build myself back up. My whole life I allowed others to beat me down and hold me back. I have developed a new kind of mental toughness through my competitive drive to continually better myself everyday. The decision to get deeper into this spurred from a terrible place in my life. Living in an abusive home when I was younger taught me that no one should ever be able to hold power over you.…
