"What you learn is often determined by what you need to know. If you think you're weak, you will learn that you are strong. If you think you are indestructible, you will learn that you are fragile. In the end though, you will learn that you are human. You are no more and no less than all those who are learning their lessons as you learn yours."

“I've learned that you have to stay true to yourself from all the amazing people I've had the opportunity to work with thus far.
