Throughout life we are all faced with different challenges. Some challenges can help us progress as people, others can cause pain or hurt. Either way, as people I personally feel we are supposed to learn a lesson when we are faced with challenges. I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason. With that being said, it is entirely up to you on how you proceed after being faced with a challenge. At 17 years old I was faced with the most traumatic experience of my life, and the most challenging experience of my life.
