WHAT SHE’D SAY TO HER 15-YEAR-OLD SELF
Always bring your best self forward. Be confident in the great things you are able to accomplish and never let negativity bring you down or the insecurities of others. Raise yourself, raise your voice; no one else can do it best but yourself. Most of all, be a fun and happy human.
