Everyone likes to be better than someone, they might undervalue your role or prejudge your ability. But that should not be a reason to quit what you are doing. I remember a time when my whole school underestimated me and always assumed that I would screw up, but in the end they were all wrong. I remember always feeling upset because no one believed in me.

I didn’t care what people thought anymore because I knew that my prom will get them talking for years. I began to promote prom, and I finally announced the theme. I began to notice people talking about how excited they are
