Reading Sundiata really resonated with me because it’s about someone who didn’t start out as the strongest or most obvious leader, but still became great. Like Sundiata, I’ve faced moments where people doubted what I was capable of, or when things didn’t come easily to me. His story reminded me that growth takes time, and that staying grounded and determined matters more than always being perfect. It also made me think about legacy—how what we do now, even when it feels small, can shape something bigger later on. That mindset has helped me push through challenges in school and life with more confidence and purpose.
