"When I was a kid I always believed that I would do amazing things to help the world; cure cancer, invent something amazing, save the damsel in distress. As I grew up people told me different. They'd say that I wasn't good enough. That I was not smart enough, nice enough, strong enough, but I kept going, persevering
through it. By the time I reached middle school I gave up hope. I gave up on life because everyone's comments and hurtful words finally brought me to reality. Would I cure cancer? Make a mind blowing creation? No, but I finally am realizing how I will help. I won't be the next Steve Jobs, Ghandi, or Martin Luther King, but I will have the power to do so much more. I will be able to teach the next generation how to accomplish such things and that's more than I could ever hope for. The teacher, the nurses, the understudies. They are the true heroes. This is not my story. This is my beginning, and my story is no where near close to being finished."
