Teen’s Take for Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013
“I was taught very early that if you want something, you have to go out there and get it! This comes with hard work and dedication. Yes, there are going to be some tough times that come in your life, but the difference between successful people and non-successful ones is that a successful person never gave up no matter how hard the situation was.”
