Hello Bradston Henry,

thanks for your article.
I enjoyed reading part of your life :).
I think more positive stories like yours are needed because people struggle so hard and sometimes there is no need to give people a hard time.

That brings me to this sentence of yours that I like very much:
"To never let the world or society convince you that you can't accomplish those things. To bet on yourself, to work hard, and do the best that *You can do."

Hey Akin! It was a joy sharing my story and I really appreciate you reading it!

I'm happy I could share something positive. In the midst of my journey, sometimes it felt like there was no light at the end of the tunnel but the words of others and of those ahead of me, helped me to continue to have the faith to keep moving.

What you just shared reminds me of what a mentor said to me right before I left for Baton Rouge on my journey.

He said,

"I know you want to be successful and do what others have done before you, but are you willing to go through what they went through to get there!"

Those words have always stuck with me. That nobody's journey to success is easy. Everyone has to struggle!

And if they made it, We can make it too!!!
