The one person that has given me
some advice is my cousin, Ashley Kelley.
She told me at the beginning of this semester “Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do it” or “You’re not going to make it”. My favorite thing that she told me was “I can do whatever I set my mind to and
study hard”. I have any had people tell me oh your too old to go back
to school. Well, I should listen to my cousin.
There are days that I just want to give up, because I am not happy with
a grade I got. So, I think back and look
at the words that she sent me and has told me.
My point is don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do it or why
are you wasting your time. In my opinion
they say that because they don’t have the desire to better themselves. For me, that is what I really want to
do. Ashley’s word stick with me every
day. So, when someone tells you
something negative just remember they are not happy with their life. Everyone must take account for own life so,
if you set your mind to something, you may get knocked down, but you are
determined enough to get right back up and keep going. Life is short and it’s what we make of
it. So, if you want to get a degree in
education the set that as your goal and don’t let anything stand in your
way. If you have a disability you can overcome
it and master your disability and get what you have set out to do. For me, I am coming back to school at the age
of 49and I am on oxygen, it has been a challenge for me but I have set my mind
to it and I am going to get my degree in Medical Coding and Billing. It may take me years to do it, but I will not
give up and I will have met my goal. So,
I hope the words of wisdom that my cousin gave me will help you out.
