It was the path I was supposed to take, I felt like I had to go out and prove to everyone who doubted me that I were going to college that they were wrong and not just a little bit of technology. a school a few minutes away or a school in my town. The majority of my classmates always made jokes about how I wasn't going to college and that I was the kid who peaked in high school. Not wanting to be known as that guy, I buckled down at the start of my senior year and began taking the necessary steps to take the next step and go to college. Having found my motivation within myself, I began to excel in my schoolwork and put the pieces of the puzzle together. After taking the standardized test needed for college and completing applications, I began receiving feedback from colleges. This was a great motivation for me. A few months before this started, I never thought I would be able to go to college and start doing things. Everyone who said I couldn't do it was wrong. The feeling of proving everyone wrong and also the feeling that my family members had my back made me feel good about myself.
