When I was sleeping in those abandoned buildings, I kept telling myself, one day you'll be a homeowner.

Every time I walked into that abandoned building, I told myself that this might be your current circumstances, but this will not be how the story ends.

All you have to do, E.T., is to survive today.

Survived today.

I knew that I would not be a high school dropout for the rest of my life I knew I got to get through this one day.

And so every single day when I wake up homeless one day Every single day when I woke up and that abandoned building one day

One day is going to be ET's day, but that day can't come if I give up today.

So every single day when I woke up, I kept telling myself, today might not be the day, but soon it will be my day and I will recycle my pain.

What will you do with your pain?

Will you let it break you?

Or will you let it redefine you?

This is not time to quit.

We might be discouraged, but we're not defeated.

This is not our time to give up.

We thrive in the discipline.

We thrive under problems.

We thrive under stress.

That's what we do.

We are acquainted with sorrow.

We are acquainted with grief, but we rise.
