The resilience I have demonstrated is far beyond what I could have ever thought to be. When I was 10 years old my cousins mother passed away. As I sat with her in the hospital I did not know what to say. My cousin did not know what was happening as I did not either, but I knew someone was gone that day. I pulled her away and told her that her mother was in a better place now. My 10 year old mind did not know what that meant but later on down the line I knew I said the right words.Years later my father would go on to pass my senior year of high school. I then felt once what my cousin had. I talked to her and shared them memories of our parents. I told her that we needed to do our best to honor them even if it was hard. From then on I gave her advice, but realized that one can only make their decisions their self. We stuck by each other since birth. As my grandfather would say me and my cousin are like Bonnie and Clyde. My resilience inspired my cousin to do better and not fall into the wrong that. I was also learning to use my resilience for myself. We got through the hard times and show each other through it. College decisions came quicker than me and my cousin thought. She told me she wanted to go to be something and to make her mother proud but did not know if she was going to. The thought of me and her going to college to make out passed parents proud urged me to tell her to try no matter how hard it is. At the beginning of our senior year she started looking for colleges as well did I. Using my resilience was learned through life experiences and would often be used to encourage other even when I was down. My words and guidance helped bring passion and the want for something more out of life. Me and my cousin are like Bonnie and Clyde and I would not have had my resilience used any other way because it made us the young women we are today. As I continue to grow my resilience will inspire many others just as it did my cousin. Resilience is key and might just be the thing the worlds needs.
