If you knew me in high school or right after high school, you would have thought my future was a ski bum in Tahoe with not much of a future. And to be honest, it was looking like the truth.
All that changed when a friend of mine from high school bluntly told me I didn’t look good, and that I needed help.
Long story short, I took her advice, took a chance to get out of my conform zone, and ended up driving my old Volkswagen across the country to enroll in a school that I did not fit in at.
At first the papers I submitted; the professor refused the grade my work.
I told myself, I can do this and ended up excelling at college and graduating from Columbia in NYC. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it and has made me who I am today.
Don’t think about where you are, or even think too much about where you want to go. Just put in the hard work and success will find you.
