grayson chong WHAT ARE SOME CHARACTER TRAITS YOU ADMIRE MOST ABOUT WOMEN? There is a quote that I heard when I was thirteen: “So plant your own flowers and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.” These lines are part of a larger poem entitled, “Comes the Dawn” by Veronica A. Shoffstall. This quote resonates with me because I admire women who are unafraid to be their authentic selves, who decorate their own souls, so to speak. I look up to women who are giving, compassionate, and resilient. The strongest women in my life are the ones that live their truths – totally and unapologetically. WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF SUCCESS? Success, to me, is a journey towards becoming the best version of yourself. So, success for me has always been about striving to be a better person than I was the day before, whether that be in thought, action, or deed. It’s constant growth towards self-improvement. HOW WOULD THE THREE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER? If the three people closest to me had to describe my character to others, they would probably say I am kind, loving, and meticulous.
