Wow. I mean, seriously, wow. You truthfully have something to be proud of. Look back on your life; yes, at times, it might have been difficult and you have faced challenges which you never thought you would survive, but you did survive. So far, you have done so many things that others have never done.

You should be more than proud of yourself.

You never succumbed to peer pressure and you always pushed yourself to be the best version of yourself.

You have surrounded yourself with successful people who are chasing their goals and dreams while encouraging you to do the same for yourself. You have an incredible support system and you try your best to be supportive to others in your life.

You haven't allowed yourself to make up excuses not to succeed. You have done things that might have scared others, like go away to college, and you might have been extremely scared at first, but you have succeeded, and you are doing something that so many people have never done before because of their own fear.

Thank you for never choosing the bad route in life, because in all honesty, the bad route in life was handed to you on a silver plate, but you resisted with dignity and you became who you are today.

Thank you for always trying your hardest, no matter how tired and defeated you may be. Thank you for always getting up for work even though you don't want to. And thank you for always following your intuition. You might not feel successful at times, but you are successful and the success will only continue to grow.

Thank you for looking to God when times might be hard. Thank you for always being kind and respectful toward your grandparents and your parents. They are one of the main reasons you are who you are today.

Thank you for taking the negative words that others had to say about you and use those words as motivation to prove each and every one of those people wrong. You should truthfully be so proud.

YOU don't give yourself enough credit for all you do and all you continue to do. YOU have so much to be proud of. YOU deserve to know and understand how successful of a person you are. Whatever YOU choose to do in life, continue to be the best version of yourself, continue to follow your intuition, continue to confide in God when times are rough, and continue to be yourself no matter what people may say about you.

YOU are going to go very far in life, and that is something that YOU must never lose sight of.
