7. “Be patient with yourself. Sometimes we’re our harshest critic because we have such high expectations of ourselves but after all this time, somehow we’ve all managed to pull through. By just being patient and knowing what needs to get done will is what [we should] take into 2020.” -Darleen R.

17. “Everyone is on their own timeline. Just because someone seems to have succeeded at an earlier time than you doesn’t mean that you can’t achieve it at a later time. Be patient, work hard and everything will fall into place.” -Kat T.

18. “We are always learning and growing as individuals, and even if we feel as if things are working out just fine, there is always room for improvement. Encourage yourself to try a new hobby or learn a new subject to the best of your ability. There is never a limitation on how much you choose to learn.” -Mandana J.

19. “It’s okay to make mistakes, because everyone does. Make sure to learn from your mistakes, recognize what you did wrong, and fix that about yourself. Also, study hard.” -Thien-Tan L.
