When I think about the kind of life I want to or have lived so far, I sometimes wonder why I took this chance or why I made certain choices that seemed difficult or overwhelming at the time. However, when I see how it makes me feel now, I understand why- it's because of that sense of accomplishment.
Going to that vocational school and getting through its challenges was definitely hard on me; I'm not going to lie about that. However, I'm still able to see all the things I achieved there as I continued to push through and work hard. I won the Student of the Month award, I've been given lots of praise for my work ethic as well as my leadership skills. I may not have done everything perfectly, but I did the best that I could and knowing that makes me feel good.
Now here comes the letter that I feel needs to be heard to me now and in the future:
You know that you've been through a lot, but it's all leading you up to where you are now. You are strong enough, capable enough and motivated enough to take on whatever challenge you want to go after next. There's no limit to your success, but try your best to remember that some days may be harder than others.
If you think that something is worth pursuing, then go after it. if you feel unsure in any way, then just do it regardless; you might just end up feeling better in the end. Sometimes it's okay to go after the unknown even if it scares you. You know fully well anyways that the more experience you get, the better you'll be able to handle whatever comes next in life.
It's usually said that the most worthwhile things in life take the most time, patience and effort, but even then, just know that you're allowed to be human. You're allowed to mess things up every once in a while; no one is perfect. Just keep on doing the best you can to stay positive and motivated; that's probably what's going to get you the furthest in life.
