Never Quit

This post is based on a interview that I conducted with a fellow student named Autumn Cooeyate.

By Jordan O. from Zuni High School in New Mexico

"The advice I would give to my future self if I could would be 'Don’t give up. Just keep on pushing yourself even though times get harder.' When I am alone, without any video screens to distract me from my thoughts, I think about my future and how things will go if i keep on staying in school. But mostly, I think of how I would succeed when there is nobody there to guide me." -Autumn Cooeyate
