Amber Zentgraf The Path I Have Created

When I was younger I was always pulled out of class to get extra help. I never understood why they pulled me out of class. I felt like I was normal like all the other kids in my class. I felt like an outcast. I never had friends growing up. I always felt lower then everyone else. I kept telling myself your dumb and that I will never "fit in".

In 6th grade I switched schools. Going to a new school was like a fresh start. I started making friends that were also in the same class. I finally felt that I could "fit in". When I went into high school I felt like I'm growing out of the shell that I had since I was little. I stopped telling myself I was dumb. I started telling myself that I'm capable of doing anything. My senior year I took physics. I wanted to show everyone I can do anything. I passed that class with a B. It was my the best feeling of success.

I became a student at Alverno to major in Nursing. I wanted to become a nurse to prove not to myself but to everyone whop thought I wasn't capable. The path I created was a long struggle to show that I am capable, I can do whatever I want in this world. Now that I'm in college I feel that nothing can stop me. I fought for so long to be like everyone else. Now I'm fighting to be myself. I want to create a path that people can follow and not feel like an outcast but feel like you can make a change.

  1. "Now I'm fighting to be myself." I LOVE THAT. I am going to remember that. I am glad that you found a way to believe in yourself and your potential.

  2. That is such a good power message, as I understand the same feeling except I would get pulled out for being too smart. This alienated me just as bad early on, glad you found your happiness.
