Life is not easy. Everybody faces countless road bumps as they try to find their way through life. Being able to overcome these challenges and arise on the other side as a better person marks a successful journey. As I've mapped out my journey through life I've been wadding my way through these dangerous lands. There have been many times where I felt I was lost or alone, however, I've managed to gain the strength necessary to move forward every time. Life is not a sprint, it is a marathon that requires strength and stamina. I can look back on my beginnings and see how much I've grown. I've had to rebuild myself many times, but have gotten tougher with each lap. Continuing to work hard and find the opportunities to grow will continue to help me move forward in life while using my strengths to help others move forward too. Then one day I'll be able to reach the finish line proud of everything I've accomplished.
