I can't even begin to tell you the amount of times I force my truest ideal down everyone's throat. I've lived by one simple philosophy, work hard and fight harder then anyone in front of me. I'm a fighter, and a dedicated one at that. My ultimate goal in life is to have twelve pounds of UFC gold around my waist. I know I need to work harder then anybody else on this planet to do that. While im sitting at home watching TV, my next opponent out there is getting stronger every second, trying to snatch my dream away from me. I can't allow that. I can't allow myself to ever be out worked or out classed. That belt is mine, and no one can take it away from me. That's the mindset I tell myself everyday, when I'm in agony and my body is screaming at me to stop. I trained my mind to be stronger then my body just for that reason. Hard work will be the key to my success, and in the end I will fight harder then anybody that steps in front of me and my dream.
School cancelations is by far the worst thing that can happen to my academic success. With my personality, if I'm barely interested in something to begin with I have to force myself to go by all means. The most detrimental thing to me is missing one day of school, because then I get into the mind set where if I missed one day of school, where's the harm in another? It slowly becomes a snowball effect of skipped classes until I'm faced with an avalanche of stress and anxiety. Unfortunately, this become such a common trend that I was unable to complete my first semester at Delaware County and just recently almost became the same problem. Luckily I found the right person to give me the right push I needed. So now I'm not just doing it for myself, which is more then enough motivation for me to finish and secure my future.
