But I decided to do it because I wasn't comfortable with the material. [9] I didn't want to make choices that would always put me in a place that was comfortable and secure.

She learned from her beloved teacher "to find the roles that you're passionate about, that speak to you on some level and which will help you grow on some level," [22] which has then become her line of conduct.
