  • “Even though things might seem impossible to do or we feel on the verge of collapse, either emotionally, physically or mentally just hang in there because what lies at the end of the tunnel is much more rewarding than not doing anything at all. At times it may seem that you are alone and all your hard work goes unseen but in reality when all is done many people will appreciate and admire you. This type of advice is what I tell myself everyday and so far it has led me to a much better future."

  • "My life would open up to more possibilities and opportunities to be more social and include myself in more events. I have a scarred face from breakouts and even when my skin is clean, it doesn’t look like it is and I would like to protect other kids from feelings about scarring that I have. Additionally, being able to go out in the world and have better confidence will help me to spread a better attitude to my friends, family, and strangers. I will have less of a negative and reclusive outlook on things, and instead have a positive and happy one."

  • "If I were able to give advice to someone younger than me, I would tell him to keep going to school, because education is the only way out of being poor and also being a very successful person. Don’t take education for granted, because education will open doors to your goal for a career.”
