Never Give Up

by Ziggy, San Mateo

Looking back to the biggest lesson I learned in 2023, it’d most definitely have to be to never give up on something, even when the chances of success are little to none. 

I learned this lesson when I was in school and I had four days to raise my grades from all “B’s” to all “A’s,” so I could give my graduation speech and receive my award for being valedictorian. There was very little chance for changes with there being so little time left. But I used it as motivation to get my assignments turned in. 

Thinking back to that, now I’ll use that same mentality to get through my experiences right now because I still have a bright future ahead of me.
