The greatest lesson I learned from someone else was from my grandpa who at the time was suffering from cancer when I was eight years old. I didn’t understand much and I didn’t know exactly why he was sick but I knew he needed to be cared for so my cousins and I made the effort to visit him every week at the hospital. What my grandpa taught be for the few months that I visited him was how he never gave up and lost faith. Throughout the whole process, he never showed his sadness to me and it showed me how strong of a person he was. I was able to learn that even through the toughest times in your life, if you don’t lose hope, smile and stay strong, you will be able to overcome anything. He told me to always, no matter what believe in myself and become a strong successful women. To this day, I follow his advice in every hardship I go through and I thank him for giving me the inner strength and happiness that I need during the tough times in life.
