I am grateful for my siblings because they have always been by my side since I was born. Any time I needed help with homework, life advice, and even emotional support. It had impact me because I have not been an adult for long and they are older than me and I seek guidance from them.
Advice I would give my younger self is to fight hard for what you want and surround yourself with people who genuinely make you happy. Back when I was younger I would notice that my friends weren't the best company but I stayed with them because of the fear of being lonely and being an outcast. I would consider myself a very lucky person (my middle name Leesi means good luck) but I lacked discipline in many areas of my life since I knew i would make it out in the end. I would definitely tell myself that it is great to have fun but never forget hard work. I think a lot of people can benefit from this advice especially kids transitioning to college. Because if you do not have a set schedule and know how to balance work and play, then it will be very hard to adjust and move forward.
