Important I need to write an essay about an interview I did.
I will insert my thesis statement and I need to have these 3 quotes involved

Thesis:
While sometimes you may feel like giving up and you lose courage, keep going, hang in there and push through all the challenging times because no matter how troublesome things get, you have to find things that make you happy, motivate you, make you stronger, and never give up.

Quotes:

“I would say my mom has had a big influence on my life because I watched her struggle and overcome those struggles from when we were little all the way up until we were old enough to understand.”
“I've learned that everything happens for a reason, even if you don't know what that reason is.”
“Never, ever give up and always be strong, and think about things that make you happy more often.”
