“Look me in the eye. It's OK if you're scared. So am I. But we're scared for different reasons. I'm scared of what I won't become - and you're scared of what I could become.
Look at me.
I won't let myself end where I started. I won't let myself finish where I began. I know what is within me, even if you can't see it yet.
Look me in the eyes.
I have something more important than courage. I have patience.
I will become what I know I am.”
