This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Broward chapter.

Mental Strength: The ability of an individual to effectively deal with challenges, pressure, and stressors to present their best performance regardless of their circumstances.

So, here are six hard truths you need to accept for being stronger!

  1. Not many people care about your matters. They ask and comment simply because they are curious. Don’t let them affect the decisions in you make. 
  2. You’ll suck at everything in the beginning. But, if you persevere and are patient, time will reward you with what you deserve and punish the ones who easily gave up.
  3. No matter how good or bad your life is at this stage, always remember “this time will pass away”, and you can stay humble and motivated to continue your journey. 
  4. People close to you see things with more clarity than you do sometimes. Forgo, your ego and take the good advice that is given to you.
  5. You’ll fail countless times before you succeed, but that doesn’t matter. You only need to do the right things when the opportunities come.
  6. There are no answers to some questions in this lifetime. If you can’t get them after trying, that means you need to let go.

Student at Broward College for the past five years, first enrolled on Davie's Central Campus learning Physical Therapy for two years than, transferring to Coconut Creeks North campus for the last three years, now majoring in Early Childhood / Developmental Education. Spent first year with Her campus Broward as Outreach Director, former president of self-entitled campus friendship club, Sammy's Buddy Brigade, member of the Campus Science Club, and a Broward County local student Ambassador with Best Buddies International. Winner of the Sammy's award for most charity work within the community, and now Vice President of Her Campus Broward. I hope to soon be working at Junior Achievement with the elementary and middle school children, in order to have a well rounded experience! The hope is to one day work with and teach children who have special needs such as myself! Biggest belief and philosophy of life is that, no matter what anyone says you can't accomplish in life, I am living proof that anything is possible! Having ADHD, high functioning Autism, and medical conditions such as Scoliosis, helps me to understand special needs children on a level that very few people can! It is this very knowledge that led me to choose Teaching as my chosen profession. Now at age 42, and more than 55% on the way to getting an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, I hope to become an Assistant Teacher within the next year or so. We hope that this true life story will inspire others to never give up either, no matter what anybody says, or tells you, that you can't do, the only one who can truly hold you back is "YOU".
