Without any sort of empowerment, work and perseverance can slowly become irrelevant in one's life. One can even say empowerment is like validation toward yourself as well as taking control. Throughout my time at TAMIU and Univ, times when I did activities throughout campus, like playing the piano or watching recitals, were empowering to me, as I was taking control of my own enlightenment and happiness. The photo with my friend in the blue suit was for Halloween (dressed as Nanami Kento and Toji Fushiguro from Jujutsu Kaisen). This made me feel very empowered due to the fact that this was a testament that the work I was putting into my physique was evident, and, of course, taking control.
