What started as a personal writing hobby in 2014 resulted in a collection of essays that span nearly seven decades. Over time, themes emerged in the stories-those of patience, control, and resilience. Growing up is not simple for anyone. No one escapes adversity, and learning to cope with big and small challenges is the essence of life. Whether they involve slushing through ten miles of mountain snow, embracing protests on a university campus, losing loved ones, or pursuing an elusive dream, the essays reveal a determination to conquer these trials. Along the way, humility became an important factor as the author faced down what sometimes felt like life-altering situations. In the end, she has learned that being a survivor means hanging on and waiting for a second chance.
