"Something that I found challenging was life after high school because I didn't know what I waned to do. Most of my friends had gone to uni or into jobs they were interested in but I felt a little lost and left behind which was not a nice feeling. I ended up taking two gap years until I figured out that uni was the place that I wanted to be. But those two years were very challenging, I was jealous of people living their lives knowing what they wanted to do and I just didn't know so I was just kind of waiting until something happened, like some sort of epiphany, while working at jobs I wasn't happy at. Ultimately, over time, I decided to go to uni and am so happy with that decision but those two years where I had no clue what was going to happen were a challenge. I definitely learned that just because something is right for someone else doesn't mean it is right for you. Im now so grateful that I took the time to decide where I wanted to be and I guess the cliche that everything happens for a reason can be true!"
