Far too many times we view rejection as failure; when in fact it is pushing us to become the greatest version of ourselves. We still have to be the best students of our chosen craft. We have to be willing to cheer for ourselves when often times, we may be the only one cheering and the only voice we hear.

Choni won bronze at Van
