COURAGE
Sometimes challenges aren’t the best thing for me because they are overwhelming. But I love them! I need them! I have to take the MCAT (tests to get into medical school) eventually. I could be really scared about it. Or I could go in and take it, knowing that I can take it again, knowing that I can fix my mistakes the second time around. You don’t know what the outcome will be until you do it. You just don’t know.
I have failed a lot at different things. But I have come to realize that you are going to fail or you are going to succeed. You don’t know until you do something. I have come far from those failures. I have to be proud of that and focus on how I have succeeded. That is what keeps me motivated. I am not done yet!
