Over the course of a lifetime countless decisions make up who you are; as each choice leads to another, they must be met with dignity. On your journey strife becomes inevitable, but the way you choose to face these challenges determines what type of person you strive to be. Those who wither in the face of adversity immediately lose any chance at success, but those who persist allow for the possibility of reaching their goal.

The very nature of a eulogy presents the best side of a person, and I hope that it encompasses an accurate representation of how I want to live my life. I hope the speaker notes my grit and inability to give up, while mentioning my will to help others reach the same level of excellence.
