Give yourself a Chance

Going to school and pursuing my dreams has allowed me to grow as a person, and I have learned more that I could ever imagine about myself by continuing my education. Honestly, going back to school and setting goals for myself has changed me. Many outside forces other than school have also had a huge impact in my life and has changed me. Going to school has slowly opened doors for me that seemed could never be opened.

I felt trapped for the longest time and was not sure if I could do it. Deep down I knew it was something I had to do. I had to change the way I lived. I wanted to be a better person. I wanted to give myself the chance.

I went to college after a year off from high school, but I dropped out and did no go back for eight years. I was always going back to the same jobs, dealing with the same people and getting the same results. I wanted better than that, and I needed to do something about it. I procrastinated long enough, and it was time to just go and do it and start the transformation into the new me. I felt if I did this, slowly but surely things would get better and all the hard work would pay off. Slowly but surely, I would see things in a different light.

I have seen things from a different perspective, and I have learned how to change. Sure, I still have some parts of me I need to work on, but I have definitely made progress.

I am doing this for myself. I wanted to challenge myself and to grow as a person. I wanted to give myself the chance, despite all the mistakes I may have made in the past. I was always stuck and getting the same results from how I was living my life. I didn't think I could ever change the way I lived. Sometimes, I thought I didn't even deserve the chance to become a better me. Despite all the things that may have happened in the past or the mistakes I might have made, just remember I deserve the chance; we all deserve the chance to improve ourselves.
