Growing up, I often heard people express regret about missed opportunities. A quote that has profoundly influenced my perspective is, “In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.” This quote resonates with me because it reminds me of the importance of seizing opportunities and living without regret. I’ve made it a personal goal to pursue what truly fulfills me in life, rather than giving in to fear and complacency.

I want to show my family that we are capable of achieving more than what our surroundings might suggest.
