Hello! Growing up, my life was a rollercoaster of both hardship and triumph. Despite facing challenges that many adults couldn't even imagine, I never let those struggles define me. I was determined to overcome the obstacles and achieve my dreams, no matter how difficult the journey may be. From an abusive household to losing both of my parents at a young age, I refused to let my past dictate my future. Coming to a new country, facing cultural differences, and battling my own mental health struggles were just a few hurdles I had to overcome. But each challenge only made me stronger and more determined. With therapy and support from loved ones, I have learned to manage my anxiety and depression and work towards a better, happier life. Our past may shape us, but it doesn't have to define us. Keep striving, and never give up on your dreams. You are capable of so much more than you realize.
