I have overcome many challenges and setbacks in my lifetime, and I believe the experiences I endured gave me strength, wisdom, a strong sense of self, and the ability to face difficult situations head on. I have been able to develop patience, perseverance, discipline, and innumerable other ethics, values, and virtues that greatly benefit me in life, especially regarding school and will continue to benefit me in my career. As a student I am relentless in my pursuit of knowledge and being successful in school – my academic performance during this degree is evidence of that and motivates me to continue.
