The most important thing I can ask of my readers is to never give up on
what you want. May it be a health goal, a career goal, or even if you've
been eyeing the last pair of Jessica's on the shelf, always go after what you
want. It's something that I have strongly believed in the past couple
years and it has never let me down. People say I'm crazy for applying to
a large internship, they tell me to start small and local. People tell me
that living in California is too expensive and I should "stay in my price
range." People are constantly telling me that my degree won't get me
a job. In
response to those who say to stop dreaming and face reality, I say keep
dreaming and make reality. Why would
I settle for anything but extraordinary? No one ever made it big by
playing it safe. I know that my perseverance and drive will take me
places further than I could imagine. I don't need someone to hold my hand
and walk me through the steps because I am doing it on my own. I may not
be where I am today, or tomorrow, but I will be there one day. And you
are never too young to have a dream.
I hope all of you stay true to who are and go after what you want in
life. Don't let anyone stop you from accomplishing your goals. Your value
doesn't decrease because somebody doesn't see your worth. I believe in
you, but most importantly I hope you believe in yourself too.
