Imagine writing a letter to yourself 10 years from now. What advice, hopes, or reminders would you include?

 Don't let people define you, that I need to make a name for myself out in the world. That I came from a family that has nothing, two hard working parents that tried to give me everything. From people who the world consider "dangerous aliens" and family who talk down about me. From a male dominated world where women still aren't as equal as men. That in a man's eye, i'll never match him in anything: strength or intelligence. Where I need to work 10x harder to prove my point. To remind myself that I need to keep going no matter what happens, no matter the obstacles that appear in my way. To take care of myself because waking up everyday is a blessing since some people don't ever wake up. That I have so much to prove to people who don't think I'll do anything great in life. That life will never be fair and I just have to work with whatever I have. To never forget where I came from and what I suffered.

We just worked on our projects.
