I believe in miracles, overcoming
the impossible, and doing what others believe is impossible. I suppose that
proving others wrong are my drive, my motivation to achieve and succeed what
others say is impossible.
I have
always had a love for learning new things and making up new ways to do
something. I remember in the third grade being told I was not allowed in the
gifted program because I was not “smart” enough because of my Attention Deficit
Hypertension Disorder, also commonly known as A.D.H.D. That day I set a goal to
prove them wrong
Over the next year I tried my
hardest and excelled in my classes. I still, was not allowed into the gifted
program. I refused to give up, I was determined to prove them wrong, so I continued
to try my hardest and excel in my classes. It was only until the sixth grade
was I allowed into the program. I had
met my goal! Although it did took a few years I did what others considered
being nearly impossible.
I had met my goal, I proved them
wrong, but that was not good enough for me. I wanted to go above and beyond
what others said was possible. Just to prove my point, that anything is
possible. My new goal was to be valedictorian, the highest of all honors in any
and every high school.
That is my goal, my goal that
everybody says is impossible. Now in my sophomore year of high school at Marion
High School, I am well on my way reaching it. Now I am one of a few studious students
that is still in the running for valedictorian on a list that shortens every
year. I work harder and harder, never giving up hope because everything is possible
if you work hard and do your best. I am an example of beating the odds and
never letting others discourage me from doing what I set my mind to.
My life shows that it does not
matter what everyone says you cannot achieve, but what you can achieve. Do not
let words hold you back from trying and making the impossible possible. I truly
believe that all things impossible are possible if you just set a goal, believe
in the goal, work hard, and not care what others think. This is what I live by
and will continue setting impossible goals over and over until the day I die.
