Lota’s study Tip.
Perseverance.
At an early age I said I wanted to be a doctor.
However it did not come easy. In my first year of medical school, I almost failed out because of one subject.
Looking back, I realize, that moment of near failure was exactly what I needed to succeed in school. I worked hard from that point on, never taking anything for granted and with much prayer pulled through.
What I encourage everyone to do is “work hard” Remember, it is called “hard work” for a reason. You must put in the effort and have a firm belief in your ability.
There will always be naysayers, but let it not stop you from putting in your best effort and being consistent.
This is a necessary skill, not just in school but through life.
Find your path, stay with it, do not give up.

Best wishes and be your own best self!
