Most everyone will agree that the path to success is filled with ups & downs. The roads are often paved with times of heartbreak, rejection, criticism, and frustration. However, experiencing these periods of darkness makes the feeling of reaching your goals even sweeter.

In an interview with Teen Vogue, she stated "...we need to take risks. We need to go broke. We need to prove them wrong simply by not giving up."
