My life matters for many reasons. One big reason is my family. My family is the backbone of who I am. Taught me right from wrong, helped shape my future and overall helped me become the man I’m growing into today. They are my biggest supporters and deserve nothing but the best from me. They taught me how to preserve through challenges life presents. Through the struggles, I’ve experienced doubt and learned how much it can affect someone. Doubt will make someone question their own ability. I cannot afford to do so. I believe I can do anything with perseverance and hard work. In essence, The dream is free however the hustle is sold separately. I used to think my struggles would last a long time and fell victim to doubt. However, as time went on I realized these struggles are temporary and with positive outlooks on life and disciplining oneself. It can change a person completely. I learned you gotta struggle before the come up. It teaches you a place you never want to return to.
