Most importantly, I was taught to never give up on my dreams and constantly fight for what I want and live my life. I live by what I think is right and…

Ever noticed how quickly time fly’s by? A single day retains only twenty-four hours; ones individual life is contrived up of these single seconds, hours, and minutes. Before it’s even realized that time has passed. How that time was spent is inconsequential. I realized that no matter how that time was used; that day will come to a halt.
