  • - Hi, we're the cast of 'On My Block,'

  • and these are the top 5 things we learned from

  • our characters.

  • - I'd have to say that I've learned

  • that the most important thing is family

  • and the friendships that you cultivate over the years.

  • The ones that truly mean something to you.

  • I feel like over time

  • because they go through so many obstacles

  • and they share in so many things.

  • So, regardless of what you're going through,

  • those two things will get you through whatever.

  • - I would have to say, something that I've learned

  • over the course of playing Cesar

  • on 'On My Block' is to stay resilient

  • through the hard times, to always push through

  • and never let your circumstances get the best of you.

  • And to stay hopeful, and keep dreaming, and keep pushing.

  • - [Jason] Ruby's been a challenger against fear.

  • So, I think I've learned most from Ruby

  • is to put aside all the fears.

  • When I go into places, I'm like,

  • I kinda have like social anxiety sometimes.

  • So like, that whole Ruby factor,

  • I'm just like, "Y'all like forget it, just do it."

  • - I think from Jamal I learned,

  • I think also something about fear.

  • And, more so, how you can sometimes fear yourself

  • when you don't know how far you can go,

  • and the lengths that you can go to succeed.

  • And so sometimes, just in my personal life, have my own doubts

  • or I'd feel myself looking outward for validation.

  • And I think through Jamal,

  • as, you know, the seasons go,

  • he's getting more and more confident,

  • not caring as much what people think,

  • and you know, if they believe him,

  • and how important it is for him to believe in himself.

  • So, I'd say for me, just knocking down those walls

  • of self-doubt for me.

  • - And finally, what I've learned most about Jasmine,

  • and I've learned from Jasmine,

  • is just to be unapologetically who you are,

  • and to never ever doubt yourself,

  • and to know that there's only one you,

  • so you should be whoever that is,

  • and be your number one fan.

  • I've learned a lot of that from her, 'cause she's awesome.
