What is one memory in your childhood who made you who you are now? 

The time I stood up to my dad because when I was younger I was always shy and never really stood up for myself and my dad was so hypercritical and judgmental and I was so scared of him. Then one day I was just so fed up with a lot of stuff and I started to not like him and when the time for me to stand up for him I felt really powerful and after that I knew I could stand up to anyone and now I’m not scared to do that.

What advice would you give to your younger self?

My advice to my younger self would be to do your work and stay on track. To not… umm… to get distracted or... follow what your friends do. To motivate yourself to do better than to do bad. 

Why would you give yourself this advice?

I would give this advice to myself because I already went through it. It wasn't the best decisions to make. If I had the chance to go back I would do everything better. I would pay attention in school, get my work done… umm… and choose my friends wisely because they do not last forever. Sometimes they lead you to the wrong path.
