""The answer was simple. I chose to put in the work, accept the criticism, and use it as fuel to boost my work ethic. I was committed to being my very best self as a human being, and proving those wrong who laughed at me and wrote me off."" ""I did what many struggle to do when they don't like what they see in the mirror. I blocked out the pain, and focused on blood, the sweat, and the gain. I chose to take accountability and ownership. I decided that I was going to give them nothing to laugh at. I was going to come back looking the way they wished they could. I was going to be the standard they could never reach, all because I was going to outwork them and make them think twice about laughing at me."" ""Humble beginnings do not stand for noth"
