15. Valuable Contribution

The most valuable contribution I can make to a college campus is my determination in success. Growing up being told that anything is possible I took every chance to make my self better in sports and education. My grades are not perfect, I make mistakes, I have hard times, but giving up is no option. I let my haters be my motivaters and never give in till my last breath. Sports have gave me strength, discipline, and responsibility. Family has provided encouragement, health, and love. These two provide fifty percent, but a coach can only do so much, the player has to want to take charge and never quit. My life is just beginning and my confidence keeps rising. People will try to bring me down mentally, physically, emotionally, but I will not collapse and I will not try, just do. College is for everyone, but that president position of a large corporation is not. Hours reading, notes taking, study planning, will be building blocks to get to the top. Any college would be honored to have me as a student because i'm going to the president position no matter what anyone says. Failure will break you, but don't ever let it make you. My determination will change lives and the school, forever ;)
