    I have really high expectations for myself and what I am capable of this fall at Mount Olive College. I have very high goals for myself and have revised what I believe to be a well guided plan to achieve them. I feel eager and excited to unleash my mind, thoughts and the power of my determination. I know that it’s going to be a lot of hard work and its going to take a lot of time. Also, with that comes the bittersweet of sacrifice, of parts of my life that I am going to have to change in order to succeed. But my grandfather has always told me “anything worth having is worth working hard for.” I am my biggest critic and supporter all in one. I know that the only person that can stop me from doing what I came to do is me. No one else has the power to stand in my way and I refuse to let anyone stand in my way or hold me back! I’m ready to get into the whole swing and flow of college life and what it has to offer me. I have to admit that I am a little nervous about keeping my work load and my school load both equally balanced but it’s a challenge I am willing to face head on.…
