I distinctly remember sitting with friends one afternoon my junior year of high school. The group chatted about their future plans.
"I think i will get a job down at the tire place." One of the boys told the group. My brow furrowed, "I thought you wanted to be a mechanical engineer?" "I did. But, college isn't for kids like us." I felt my heart stop. Was he telling me I couldn't achieve something? college WASN'T FOR KID LIKE ME?! nO WAY! i WOULDN'T ACCEPT THAT. Nowadays, i AM PROUD OF MY COLLEGE DEGREE. AND AS A TEACHER, i WON'T LET MY STUDENTS ACCEPT THAT EITHER? Has THERE EVER BEEN A TIME WHERE SOMEONE TOLD YOU Couldn't ACHIEVE SOMETHING? How did it make you feel? What did you do about it?

One time, my oldest sister told me, "No matter how hard you try, you will never stop your electronic addiction." I was mad, like, REALLY mad so i said, "Watch me." Therefore, I hid my electronic for 1 MONTH!!!! I couldn't survive anymore so right when I got my ipad back, she said, "SeE? YoU cOuLdN't sUrViVe!!!!" She was right. From that day forward.... I always believed what ever my sister said.
