Favorite quote:“You’re not a failure until you start blaming everyone else around you” Usher

I like this quote because it lets me know that only I am responsible for my actions. If I choose to give up, then that is my fault and no one else. I choose to keep moving forward because I can.

Feedback!That is me in a nutshell

I would love to hear from you
