Anna remembered how her parents had always been there for her, supporting her dreams and guiding her through life. She remembered the advice they had given her, some of which she had followed, and some of which she had ignored.
Her mother had hugged her and said, "Don't worry, my dear. You have plenty of time to figure things out. You don't have to have everything figured out right now. Life is a journey, not a destination. You will discover yourself along the way."
Her father had also taught her many lessons about life. He had taught her how to be patient, how to be persistent, how to be resilient.
Her father had shaken his head and said, "You will never fail if you learn from your mistakes. You will never disappoint me if you do your best. You will never embarrass yourself if you are proud of yourself. Failure is not an end, but a beginning. Failure is an opportunity to grow and improve."
Anna had sighed, feeling a bit more motivated.
