Take It From Me: Life's a Struggle but You Can Win

You will definitely find moments where somebody else is going to try to suppress you or put you down, but you have a choice in how you see yourself.

Each disaster became a steppingstone for growth.

My mom and my dad taught me the greatest gifts we have are our family, our health and the right to clean water and good land.

Life is full of challenges. How you handle these challenges is what builds character. Never be afraid to be who you are.

For me, what I see happening in this [clean water] crisis is deterioration of the family. It is deterioration of our health.

If you can go out there and stand up for what it is you believe in no matter how many times you are knocked down, in the end the swinging of your own blows will exhaust them.
