"This experience means absolutely everything to me! It shows me that I can be anyone that I want to be, as long as I’m willing to come face to face with any and all adversity and fight, I can achieve all! This experience has molded me into such a better version of myself that I never knew was possible, especially mentally, and I’m so thankful for that. I never knew how strong I really was until I came here and overcame the challenges of life, and that is so beautiful to me. Giving up is no longer an option in any aspect of my life."
