It’s these everyday challenges that can make or break you. These hardships can end up defining who you are depending on how you react to them.

He was kicked out of college and a couple years later was put in jail for twenty-seven years for protesting against apartheid. That didn’t stop him though. Nelson Mandela never stopped fighting to achieve his goals. These challenges taught him to never give up and to be persistent. It’s overcoming these challenges that can define who you are. Enrique
