What would I tell my younger self?
I would tell my younger self to embrace failure and take risks. It's through these experiences that we learn and grow the most. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and pursue your passions, even if it means facing obstacles. Trust in your abilities and believe in the power of perseverance.

As I reflect on this advice, I'm thinking about some of the challenges I faced growing up, being the oldest in the family. How to be responsible was instilled in me. Being responsible was instilled in me through the constant reminders and expectations set by my parents and the example they set themselves. From a young age, I was given tasks and responsibilities that taught me the importance of accountability and taking ownership of my actions. This upbringing helped shape my character and instilled a strong sense of responsibility that I carry to this day.
One challenging situation where my sense of responsibility was tested was when I was in college. I had to balance my academic workload with part-time jobs to support myself financially. Despite the overwhelming schedule, I prioritized my responsibilities and met all my commitments. It was a difficult time, but it taught me the value of discipline and perseverance in fulfilling my obligations.
During this difficult time, I learned that discipline and perseverance are key traits for overcoming challenges. I navigated through the overwhelming schedule and fulfilled my responsibilities by staying focused and committed to my goals. This experience taught me the importance of pushing through adversity and never giving up, ultimately shaping me into a resilient individual.
I would hope my younger self would listen to my advice. I would also encourage my younger self to take risks and trust my instincts. I would also tell younger Renee', that it's important to be patient and take things one step at a time. Finally, I would remind her to stay humble and be open to learning and growing from these experiences.
