I started my senior year at 16 years old, graduating a year early. There have been obstacles getting to this point and I have passed those barriers and grown as a person. The negativity in my life does nothing compared to how I push and how hard I work. I often hear this statement thrown around by people in the senior class: "you shouldn't be in this class." This statement motivates me more than anyone ever would think. The fact that I shouldn't be here means I've done something worthwhile. I'm graduating a year early I will have all 23 credits and all the required classes to graduate in 3 years when others did it in 4. I did online classes and took extra classes and pushed and pushed to get things done and I haven't heard nearly as much positivity as I expected. I hear more negative than positive and jokes on them the more negativity I see and hear the more I'm pushed for greatness. I have worked part-time 30 hours a week and been a full time student with fire in my eyes and here I am.
