"Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do." -Pele

Being in the city has been the greatest motivation I could ask for. Every day I am constantly surrounded by people working harder than me, which pushes me to work harder myself as each day passes on. Through the wise words of leaders like the great Pele, I continue to learn how to push myself to higher expectations because I know my potential has no limit.

Although their are many different figures that inspire me, my family has always been my main inspiration. My sister went through undergrad and grad school, worked at various different companies in different roles, and most recently she ran her first ever marathon. I have also seen my Mom and Dad work hard day and night to create an amazing life for my family. They didn't grow up with much but thanks to their hard work, they have created a more comfortable life for me compared to their own childhoods. I will be forever grateful for them and I know that through my own hard work, I can also create a better life for my future family and continue the success that my family has had in their careers.
