MARCH 1, 2023 KAUA‘I MIDWEEK 9
Others’ Opinions
In my earlier days I remember being told quite often that I would not amount to anything because of my odd background. I was accepted into college with a contingency that I pass additional English grammar and language classes. After passing an intensive English class (in Compton, California, of all places) and getting into University of California, Santa Cruz, a professor there told me I would never be able to master the English language, let alone write.

Yet, years later, MidWeek gave me a chance. Thanks to them, I have had three col- umns, “A Mindful Moment” being my favorite. The bottom line is this: Not everyone who gives advice is right. Remember that whether people agree with you or disagree, they are simply giving you their opinion. Don’t let anyone bring you up or get you down.
