Eleanor Roosevelt
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their
dreams. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt. From a little girl I was constantly
told, I could do anything I put my mind to. As long as you have
faith in yourself, and you believe that you can achieve the highest
goals, there is nothing you cant do. In my near future I will be
graduating high school, a milestone, that at many times in my life
I wasnt quite sure if I was going to be able to make it to. Since
the day I entered middle school in 2006, I couldnt wait until June
2012, the day I would be moving forward with my life.
Circa 2008, I had decided one day, I would work in Public
Relations, and one day I would own my own Public Relations firm.
Whether it came to my school work, dance, a outside passion of
mine, or a tedious chore, if I decided to do something, I did not
do it half assed, I was determined to finish what I started. I was
going to work and stay dedicated to make sure, I didnt let my
parents down, I didnt let myself down, and most importantly to make
sure I achieved my dreams.
The summers in between sophomore and junior year, I was
fortunate enough to reach out to two different fashion public
relation firms, persistently follow up with each of them, and land
myself fabulous internships. At these internships I was preparing
myself and putting in hours of work and effort for my overall
objective.
It goes without saying, that we, ourselves, are our biggest
competitors and advocates. However, personally speaking, I would be
nowhere close to where I am today, without the love and support
from my parents. Their faith in me is yes, unconditional, but so
real. To this day, my dad reminds me of something he has told me
since the day I was born, I should never walk into a room thinking
I am not as good as anyone else in the room, or I cant do anything
that anyone else can do.
In life, there is no doubt that we will all come across
obstacles, that doesnt mean that we cannot accomplish our goals and
dreams.
