Never Say Never

         I was told I could become fluent in Estonian unless I went to Estonia.

         I have never been and I am fluent!

         I never gave up! I did not let people's negativity distract me from my goal!

         You have to believe in yourself! You have to cheer for yourself sometime!

         Lead the way, step up and knock it out of the park!

         Do not let other people stand in your way of achieving your dreams!

         Believe in yourself! I bet you are better than you will ever admit!

         I know from my experience, I am better than who I make myself out to be!

         Convince your mind, body, and soul that you are a winner!

         Allow yourself to take a break at some point!

         But don't beat yourself up!

         Positive, positive, that is all I want!

         Estonian took a lot of practice and sometimes I felt like I was not going to be fluent, but it is a good thing I stuck with it!

        Estonian is hard, but I did it!

        Do not be defeated so easily!

        Do not concede so quickly!

       Not everything is a disaster!

       See life as an opportunity!

       Teaching Estonian would be an amazing opportunity!
