“Probably the best piece of advice I’ve ever received, and have come to live by, is to grow where you’re planted. Circumstance, trials, tribulations…I may not be in control of circumstance, but I ultimately have control of how I handle each obstacle in my path. I choose to be strong and confident, even when I don’t always feel that way. The world is so much bigger and there are so many opportunities that you cannot even imagine. Life will take us in so many different directions before we finally land and I don’t even know if I’ve landed yet.”
