“She had done more than she had ever thought possible”(172)
This is what Chyanne told Griffin. He felt like he was worthless because he dropped out of high school. She tells him that he needs to stop listening to others and the internal voice inside his head that tells him that he can’t do it. Because Chyanne chooses to ignore the voices she was able to pull herself out of depression and take control of her life again.
This also resonates with me. If I would have believed everything that others have told me, or what I told myself. I would have just sunk into a hole of self-doubt believing that I was nothing and that would have gotten me nowhere in life.
