**This prompt is still open. I just completed it so that people can receive credit. If you email me a response to the prompt, I will manually add you later** “the world gives you so much pain and here you are making gold out of it there is nothing purer than that –rupi kaur The prompt for April is about defiance, resilience, and hope. Not everything in life will go as you want it to. Most of the time it seems to have a life of its own. But, the one thing you can do is be in charge of your own actions. Know that it is never too late to restart and that each day can be a new beginning as long as you want it to be. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in your own thoughts and doubt, but even if it seems hard to do: trust yourself and trust that you’ll make it through. So my question is, how are you going to finish this semester strong? What are your motivations? I apologize for my lateness with this prompt, but if you're interested in doing it please email me at leadership@aposdsu.org
