My stubbornness is one of the things that I wish I could change in my past. Although I am no longer a stubborn person, in my past I was a bit stubborn, no matter how someone talks to me or gives me advice, it is what is in my mind that I must end up doing.

While growing up I didn't care what people said about me, and I don't give people the chance to take me for granted I was stubborn in such a way that I had to change University and program of study which now I have come to understand life better.

Why do you wish you could change it? What went wrong?

I wish I could change it because being stubborn didn't yield anything positive in my life which I ended up regretting because I lost good people in my life. If not for my stubbornness I believe I would have been somewhere better than where I am currently. It doesn't pay to be stubborn, as what went wrong was leaving the school where I had spent close to 3 years to another school, where I would have graduated.

What lesson did you learn from that experience?

I have learned the lesson of being a gentle person who always gives a listening ear to others especially when it comes to giving advice. Also, I have learned the lesson of not challenging people because we don't know who is who in our society if we're not being told. Respect is reciprocal, and I have learned how to give people their respect.
