In the song, Nicki Minaj says “Such a heavy burden placed upon me\ But when you go hard your nay’s become yay’s” (Minaj, “Fly”).

I relate to this because I’ve always believed in working hard so that I can be successful. I am trying my best to keep good grades, I’m also volunteering at the Florida hospital, and I job shadow for a doctor, while still keeping up with my dance life. It’s hard but I know everything I do is worth
