I am eternally grateful to my parents who support and push me. My father always quoted Psalm 139:14 to me: "I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works that my soul knoweth right well." I finally embraced this verse and started repeating it until my soul was persuaded. After acing every exam, my soul realized that what I was saying was what I meant. I now confidently go after each opportunity that is presented in life and my life will never be the same.
