"Because I'm young, I'm torn between a world of hate and a world of dreams. So much to love, so much to gain, so much to fight for; so much to change for me. My strength doesn't come from a physical capacity, it comes from an indomitable will. To be the strong one that lift others when they fall rather than to shove them back down. I am one of the strong woman that only intimidates the weak men in our society, simply is that they don't know how to handle one. Courage is not having the strength to go on, it's going on when you don't have the strength to do so. And strength doesn't come from winning. My struggles develop my strengths. When I go through hardships and decide not to surrender the fight, that is pure strength." -Nicole Becker
