could do anything. I could prove you wrong. I could reach my dream. Thank You, for allowing me to understand! Everyday, I’m learning. I’m teaching myself that there will always be people who’ll doubt me, people who’ll criticize me and people who’ll judge me. I am constantly learning that those people are just the individuals who truly do not understand me & what God has instilled within me, and that too is okay. Thank You, for opening my eyes! You might feel better discriminating against someone else rather than focusing on your own imperfections, but still, you instilled in me the need to focus on the things I love about myself. You helped me to hone in on what I think I need to improve. Thank You, for showing me who I don’t ever want to be. Finally, you infused in me the fact that you are not someone I want to become. I do not want AUG-SEP R.indd 48 to become someone who underestimates another person who believes in him or herself. Each day I am getting closer to accomplishing what you said couldn’t be done — you just wait and see. Throughout the battle, I’ve learned one important thing: While you may have been the match to light the fire, I AM the ever burning flames. Ultimately, I’m where I am - thanks to my own choices. I have full control of my life, where I choose to go and the type of person I wish to become. You were a blessing in disguise. I thought this whole time that you were only here to bring me down and make me think I couldn’t accomplish anything. But you’re just what I needed, someone to push me to strive to do my best. FOR THAT, I THANK YOU ALL IMMENSELY! Sincerely, THE PERSON YOU DIDN’T BELIEVE IN! 30/08/2019 06:49:44
