Life can be difficult at times. Everyone has goals in life but there's not always a clear path to accomplish them. Some people go through hard times and give up on their dreams. Some people, like my mother, are driven to accomplish their goals regardless of the obstacles they face along the way. For me, giving up is not an option because I strongly believe you can accomplish anything if you try hard enough. This is something I have learned from watching my mother throughout my life. I look up…
