\u201cAs I have grown up, my parents have constantly helped me remain optimistic in the face of adversity. My father has always said, \u2018Life is 10 percent what happens to you, and 90 percent how you react to it\u2019. Despite any battles that may come my way, I am reminded that my reaction determines my path and a positive step forward is necessary to guarantee success in both my personal and academic life. It is crucial to be kind whenever possible, and it is always possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
