I don't know how many times people have been doubted by their critics. But I do know one thing: everyone has been doubted or criticized. It's natural. It's how life works. You will have your doubters and you will have your peers. We only get one life. Why waste it?

Whenever I am driving or have some free time on my hands, I love to think about my career after college. It's always exciting to think about what your life has in store for you. Yes, it gives me some serious anxiety, but I get pretty excited at the same time. And I know when I get started towards working for my profession, I will be even more critiqued. However, that can't stop me, and it shouldn't for anybody in my shoes either.

Whatever you want to achieve in life, you can do it. Effort will be needed, but that's the point, right? Looking back at all of your hard work and being able to say, "Wow, I made it." Obstacles will be in your way at every corner. Some bigger than others. But that can't stop you or make you fall. It's all about making a dream become a reality. It's about the process towards your road of having a successful life. Don't be afraid to face new challenges. It is the reason life is so sacred.

So again, we only have one life, so why waste it? Make every opportunity count.
