The Power of Adaptability by Abigail Mendez 🌍

My name is Abigail Esther Mendez Mora, and at 17, I've experienced a life of change, born in the U.S. with Panamanian heritage and now living in Quebec. I've moved frequently, experiencing obstacles as well as opportunities: 12 homes, 10 schools and 3 languages. Each transition has taught me the vital skill of adaptability in our rapidly changing world. This leads me to share with you all the power of adaptability and how embracing change can shape our identities and empower us to face the uncertain future with confidence.
