Choosing to not attend college has been the BIGGEST decision I have ever had to make. But I made it because it is right for me. And I appreciate those who support me and NOT down me by saying, “I will never advance in life without a degree.” which by all means is false. Hard work and perseverance is what promotes people, as well as skill.
All the more power to me for doing things in a non-traditional way. I’ll be successful on my own and accomplish my goals and be where I want to be in the same amount of time it takes to attend a 4 year school. I have faith in myself that I CAN make it. Screw all you doubters. I was bred off hard work so working and striving comes natural to me. Just saying…
Since I was in middle school, I had no doubt in my mind that I would go no other place, but to Hampton University. I love that school, and I made it my top priority to make sure I made the grades and met every single requirement it took to be accepted. Now as it gets closer and closer to the big day, I have gotten a case of cold feet. I have always been an advocate for following your dreams no matter what you want, if you know where you are going, you will for sure make it. I thank God for the opportunity to be able to attend such a wonderful school, but now, I am stuck asking the question as to whether or not, come August I will be going. I want to make the right decisions, and not be stuck asking myself what if, based upon a decision i chose to make. I want it to be a for sure choice, and once I make it I do not want to go back. Problem with me is I am so indescicve. I cannot make a decisions on anything, and it simply drives me insane. I wish I had all the answers and I could choose what’s behind door one or door two with prior knowledge as to what is behind each door. I want clarity. I just want to be able to look down the horizon and know that no matter what choice I make, all will be okay. I have always been a hard, determined worker, and I for one understand that as long as you have hard work, you can go any you want to.
At the end of the day, I just want to be happy.
