Q: What's the best piece of advice you have ever received? A: The best piece of advice I’ve received was from my mother. “Don’t give up what you want most for what you want now,” she said. I’ve tried to live by this throughout college by thinking long-term and really focusing on my goals instead of what I want at the moment. Patience and self-control are hard, and skills that I am still working on to this day, but I’ll forever be grateful to my mom for this advice. – Evan de Joya, umiamisg president. edejoya umiamicas . .
