text: First off, making your own opinion, after hearing other advice, is important because it allows you to feel like you are making your own decisions in life. Similarly, when Generic_Name was a teen, her mother told her," Even though people will always try to tear you down, never take their words to heart. Now Generic_Name is a motivational speaker and shares her stories to everyone. This just shows that one little sentence can truly change someones life. For instance, Generic_Name goes to school everyday knowing she will get bullied, but she just remember the words her grandpa said," Although they are the ones being mean to you, remember that they are probably going through a lot more things than you are." Just this small piece of advice that Generic_Name hangs onto makes her feel like she is changing lives everyday.
