Dear Brooke Ellison,
Your journey to the destination was very long, many hardships but impressive. I wonder how and why you to achieve such tremendous outcomes? And what will I learn from your own story? Your tragedy happened very early. Often in similar cases, I think most people will give up, drop down everything. They tend to return to inner life, sorrowful, even blaming as if it was their destiny. But, you are quite the opposite. You did not turn away, you turn toward what was coming something called a challenge. Thinking about myself, I am also having barriers in my life. But, I cannot compare with your own situation. I realized that you have a purpose to live; you persevere and work really hard for a very long time to reach your dream destination. I learned from you and from your story of virtues as sticking with my future and follow through on my commitment. I have to work and study with my best ability. Finally, I thank you for your sharing for everyone including me. You appear at the right time as an encouragement, a guideline and a living proof of the result of perseverance.
