I am most inspired by Alek Wek. She is a South Sudanese model who escaped Sudan during the civil war. She inspires me because she did not let her circumstances define her or her future. She stands as a reminder that life does not dictate who you become, but rather your own choices do. She is involved in activism that attempts to make the lives of poverty-stricken people better. |

Don’t bide your time hoping for a better opportunity to come your way. Take every opportunity you can get. |
