Quotes To Live By

Quote #172: Kristy Daoud

Hi, I'm Kristy, a senior student representative from Student Leadership at Dow High. A quote that inspires me is, "Rejection is merely a redirection; a course correction to your destiny," said by Bryant McGill.

The reason I find this quote so inspirational is because it has the ability to switch your mindset when facing rejections whether it is academic or personal.

This quote supports my wellbeing because it reminds me that everything is happening for a reason and maybe I was just looking at the wrong spot and there is something else waiting for me, a new direction.

So, what was one thing you were rejected from that led you to the best route through your journey? This has been brought to you by the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition's Quotes to Live By Series. Best regards!
