Over the years, I know individuals that had serious problems growing up, and they have fought them to move on.

I am certain that an individual's desired career has a lot to say about who they are and what their persona represents. In my case, I finally chose Civil engineering because my qualities and personal skills are part of this career's base requirements. I am very perseverant even with little tasks, I like completing things to the best of my ability each time. When I fail at something, I try again until my expectations are met, even if I annoy someone. I sure don't try to do so but if someone was to stop trying at something they want to do just to stay on everyone's good side, this world would lack

I know that I will be calling Miami home for the next few years and who knows after that, but I am confident that eventually I will settle down and get to call somewhere my home. If I feel like it, I may even eventually move back here and live on the farm that I will not get to live on right now. I will not allow my struggles, internal and external, to be an excuse for myself.
Barriers throughout someone’s lifetime could shatter them, or help them to build and become a better person. Either way, it is a decision one makes on their own.

Coming into contact with challenges and struggles can seem awful and unwanted at first. But as we get around those struggles and challenges we can look back and be grateful we went through them.
