I dedicate this journal to those people who are like me that pursue their dreams no matter what happens and those who never lose hope to strive and fight for their goals and ambitions in life.

     This is also for those who are interested to know more about me and wants to learn how I decide and what are the factors that I consider in my decision-making that they may also apply to their own life.
