Do what you want, Not what THEY Say…


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.
