Every person has the power to accomplish his or her personal goal. But sometimes it is hard to reach that goal. Sometimes we don’t succeed at first time. If a person will try hard he will reach his goal. If a person gives up once he will give up all the time through out his or her life.

My tattoo embodies my life… Everything on this page means something that’s genuinely important to me. In the centre is an outline of Mufasa from The Lion King. The reason why I chose the quote "Remember who you are" is because I feel like I occasionally forget what my purpose in life is‚ especially at the moment I go through things that I just dislike that I wish I could never go through.
