I learned life can be hard

# data[].attributes.body
One lesson that I have learned from the book, "Yellow Fever" is, independence is a skill that everyone has. I have applied this theme into my life by trying one extra time or trying to figure out something on my own before I ask for help, in addition, I take care of my little brother while my parents are busy or gone.
