My mother always said I was a strong and stubborn child. I was sort of reckless in how I demanded my own way. Now as an adult, I still have that strong-mindedness, but I've learned to mature it into a tool that helps me accomplish my goals and stand firm in what I believe. I like to think that this growth taught me how to be selfless, caring, and empathetic. I strive to show this world kindness, even if just a little.
