Good times are always near
Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.
Roy T. BenNett
In times of adversity just remember everything is going to be alright. It was trusting that good times were near that got me through tough times. When it felt like I had no one to talk to; when it felt like there was nothing to look forward to, I knew that in no time I’d be hanging out with friends again soon just like normal times.

New.The key to an open mind
Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
-George Bernard Shaw
Having an Open mind when faced with hardship opens many doors in life. Keeping an open mind when faced with new environments helped me become the person I am today. I learned very quickly that if I kept positive and had an open mind at all times, life would be so much easier. Open-mindedness might be one of the best lessons I’ve ever been taught in my life when facing adversity.

How Courage changed me for the better
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it
~Nelson Mandela
Courage is a skill that is constantly being portrayed in each and every human being.

Whilst becoming a Fenn boy I had to use every ounce of courage ever imagined as I was truly changing my life and identity as a person.

When a Family is Behind You
Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family.
~Anthony Brandt
You cannot achieve anything without the love of family. My family tells me what I need to hear, rather than what I want to hear. When I was broken, going nowhere, my family was there to reassure me and lead me down the path I was always supposed to follow.
