When I was in year six and they wanted me to take extra maths lessons after school because they said I wouldn't pass otherwise, I said I wasn't going to go to the lessons and that I would prove them wrong. I did prove them wrong. When my violin teacher said she didn't think I was going to pass grade 3, I proved her wrong. When my sociology teacher said that I couldn't succeed if I missed one day of college each week to go to hospital appointments, I proved her wrong, and the highest grade I have ever got was in her subject.
So there are many things I don't know about myself yet. Some things that I thought were true about myself in the past have turned out to be false beliefs. What I do know is that I am sensitive, I have a tendancy to overthink things and I often worry irrationally. But if there is one thing about myself that I am sure of, it's that I am determined, and my determination has got me so far, and given me so much hope.
