During your life, you will face many obstacles that will get in the way of you achieving your goal. Everyone in life goes through this and there’s no shame about it. It could be that you didn't pass your test or you didn't get that job you need, and you may end up feeling helpless. You may doubt your capabilities. Teachers sometimes don’t help you, they put you down, and you feel overwhelmed and incapable of reaching something you really wanted to do for so long.

Don’t worry, you just need to take a deep breath and start over, study hard, work hard and remember you will achieve in a matter of time.

Many times, people around you don’t give you the strength you need to overcome your issues and to get through difficulties. Instead of telling you that you will MAKE it or that you can DO it, they let you down, and that’s how people lose motivation. But this is not the way that a person will succeed or will achieve their dreams.

One thing I can’t stop thanking my parents for is an important sentence they have always repeated to me and they continue to repeat:

"Never stop dreaming, never give up, Never. Only like this you can reach important things in life."

If you have difficulties in passing an exam or in your future career, it doesn’t mean you will never be able to do it.

It might be tough, but nothing is impossible, it means you have to roll your sleeves up, and work harder, if other people have the same goal then ask yourself: “Are you inferior than them?” “No. You can. If there is a will there is a way.”

It can be difficult, and very stressful, but never listen to anyone telling you what you are and are not capable of. Be consistent in studying and work hard, everyone needs their time, you will arrive later, the important thing is the route you went through. Even if you failed or you had challenges, these are important steps along the way that made you learn a lot. In overcoming them, you will be happy, proud and satisfied of what you accomplished. There is nothing more satisfying than this!

Each of us has a path in life, and if you’re lucky enough to know what yours is, then follow it. It will be worth it even if obstacles encumber your plans.

People didn’t say it was easy, they just said it was worth it!!

And most importantly- never follow other people. Try to think with your own mind. Even if you make mistakes, at least it’s your mistake and you will grow with that and you will become a better person.

So, follow your dream even with many fears and go for it, alone. There isn’t a better feeling than saying 'I’m doing what I want, I made it, I reached my goal,' without saying thank you to anyone except yourself, your parents, and the people who always counted on you.

And remember that great things take time and ….

If a dream has so many obstacles, it means that it is the right one. -Bob Marley

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
