Youth Views: Who or what motivates you to accomplish your goals?
My inspiration is my mom. She raised me and my brothers to look at life as a gift and I am grateful to have her in my life.
Youth Views: How are you observing the Year of Mercy?
For the Year of Mercy, I strive to be more patient with everyone as we all grow and mature at different rates.
Youth Views: Who is your inspiration and why?
My inspiration is my father because he keeps on pushing me to become a better person academic-wise and also athletically. It’s hard to keep up grades while playing sports weekly, but my dad tells me the only way I will get better is to practice and study hard.
Youth Views: How Are You Observing the Jubilee Year of Mercy?
My family and I observe the Year of Mercy by incorporating patience and reflection throughout each day. When the stress level is high, we suppress it by asking God for patience in our hearts, while always reflecting on our true values and intentions.
