My life is not the most extravagant, So I can't give you a story that's going to blow you away. Although I do have a story that many people my age could probably relate too. Growing up, school was not always something that interested me. It took me many years to actually start taking school seriously, and to start making it a priority in my life.
It felt like my parents and everyone around me had just given up on me. I mean why wouldn't they? I had basically given up on myself. Looking back at high school, I never thought I would be where I'm at today. Having a seat in college is still very quite shocking to me. My life would have been so much different if I would've made the choice to not make school a commitment in my life.
This may not be a sad sob story like the one's in the story, But I feel that everyone who has ever been told they CAN'T do something should know that nothing is impossible. But let me get to the story .. Graduation day had to one of the happiest days of my life. For most kids graduation is just the day when you become an adult and leave your childhood. For me it was so much more then that. It was the day when I had proved everyone wrong. All the people who doubted me got a taste of karma.
But besides the fact that I got to change everyones face expressions, and scream "I TOLD YOU SO!" there was something so much better. The feeling that I gave myself. From feeling like there was no hope in me, and like I just would never be good enough, it gave me the confidence and courage to help me take on any of my dreams. I've learned alot from this experience. Nobody can ever tell you what you can or cannot do. It's only up to you.

I amire the fact the you did not listen to those who did not believe in you, you only listened to yourself. Also I like how you did not give up and kept pushing and met your goal.
