What advice would you give to your younger self? Why would you give yourself this advice?
The advice I would give to my younger self is to be strong. For most of my childhood, I could vividly remember going to school fearful that I was gonna run into the same bully everyday. And all I would do is stand there and take his comments. It's like someone was stabbing me constantly but I wouldn't react. The person I've become is someone that I know would have never stood for anything negative said towards me. I was such a coward but it wasn't until freshmen year that I realized confidence is one of the strongest characteristics a person could have. It gives you the power to do things even outside of your comfort zone. This is something I would tell my younger self and I know he would listen because I'm the person I wanted to grow up to be.
"The advice I would give to my younger self is to be strong." That line struck me hard and I can relate. It surprised me because I'd say the same thing besides telling myself to do my homework. It's awesome to see how much you've grown as an individual.
