"You're Gonna Be Great!"

Since I'm leaving for college soon, my father has decided to have these talks about staying focused and having ambition while I'm away at college. I really do appreciate him, but why did he wait so long to tell me this? I swear, the first time I heard, "You're going to make it in this world." was a couple of weeks ago. That's a shame. Not one person, has ever told me that or something to that degree. Instead, it seemed like people around me were dream killers. I remember in the third grade, I was telling my friend how one day, she was going to see my name in lights. She responded " Sharee, you're never going to be famous, so shut up!" After that, I was enraged and hit her in the face. 

My father has always been a hardworking man, but I never understood his work ethic and dedication until recently. He never really talked to me about ambition and drive, so it was never instilled in me. I wish it would've been. Now, I've developed a complacent spirit. I realize that I'm content with mediocre circumstances, and settling. I can't be like this anymore. I used to have BIG dreams, I wanted to do any and everything possible. I wanted to leave my mark on the world. But my aspirations were killed, because I let them be killed. This isn't a way to live. From this point on,I'm not going to let anyone stop me from accomplishing my dreams.

DREAM BIG!
