Being an SLM gave me the opportunity to discover my inner, God-given strength and resilience because I faced challenges and adversity that were unique to the country and community I lived in. I experienced situations that I would never have encountered in the United States, and as result, I have the confidence that I can go anywhere in the world and not just survive, but actually thrive. The resilience I discovered as an SLM will allow me to pull through any stressful situation in the future.
