I am a Phoenix.

I am shakeable. Not because I have never had setbacks.

I am intimate with pain and failure. I stand tall and look it in the face, and I have always pushed through.

I always show up, and never give up.

I believe anything is possible, no matter the odds.

I have faced the odds my entire life, fighting for my place in this world. For my right to walk the pathways to achieve greatness.

What makes me resilient has nothing to do with what you see on my surface, and everything to do with what lies within.

Science and technology for betterment of society is how I choose to contribute to the world. I have dedicated my life. This is how I live and love.

I’m willing to bend, but I’ll never break. And the darkness can’t get me, because I burn on my very own. This is how I create my own light.

I am the Phoenix - I have risen from the ashes many times. I am forged in fire, but full of grace. I am unshakeable.
