That is completely normal. The value that you put in each experience definitely
impacts your personal journey to become a better person.

weaknesses, you may consider J.O.U.R.N.E.Y.

look back and recall how you dealt with it in the past. By remembering, you
can plan ahead and avoid the same mistakes in the past.
