Sheilja Patel - Top Ten
1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
Perseverance. I have been through a lot and faced many hardships with my illness. I stand here today because I persevered through my struggles and continued to stay strong, which is something I will carry for life.
2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Be yourself, and always smile! True beauty is something that starts from within and shines out. A smile can brighten a room and bring so much beauty to a face.
3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
My diverse background. I’ve had the privilege to be exposed to many different cultures and have learned so much. It separates me from the crowd and gives me individuality. I’m proud and grateful for the things I have in life because I know that many people are much less fortunate.
4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
Friday! Not only is it the beginning of the weekend but it’s my time to spend with the people I love most, my family. It also gives me a bit of time to relax and reset goals for the upcoming week.
5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
My family and friends. I am very fortunate to have my family and friends to always be there for me supporting me in everything I do. Regardless of the outcome, they are always there when I look back.
