You can't really know what you are made of until you are tested.

About This Quote

The first few years of life are usually pretty easy and carefree. Between the ages of 2 and 4, children usually don't have any trouble meeting their daily needs, but as they get older things become increasingly more challenging. By the time they reach the age of 13, some kids will be able to meet those same daily needs, but others won't be able to do so. This is because we aren't really sure what we're made of until we're tested. When this happens, it's important to find out what our true potential is before it's too late.
