Your dreams might not always be supported by those around you, but that doesn't mean you should give up on them. As a young teenager, I dreamed of going to Japan in a time where travel wasn't as accessible as it is today. I was considered crazy and people would laugh at me, but with great persistence and a clear goal in mind, I was battle-ready to take on the challenge. The fight wasn't easy, but it was unquestionably worth it.
