What is your life motto for overcoming challenges and/or supporting diversity and cultural understanding?
My motto for overcoming challenges is to take it one step at a time. It can be overwhelming to try and take something on as a whole, so it is better to take it on in manageable pieces. As for supporting diversity and cultural understanding, it is important to welcome everyone with open arms from all walks of life because there is something learn from everyone.
