“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will” -Vince Lombardi . This quote is very true, because only the people who are willing to put the effort to complete their goals are successful. Anyone can be successful if they try, however many people do not fight for what they want and end up being unhappy in life. Going to college is something that I like, and I am willing to do anything in my hand to be successful in college and get the education I want. It is also a good idea to judge the actions the one has taken in order to achieve the goals that you have made, in my case is getting a college degree. I have made many sacrifices in life in order to be the first in my family to have a college degree. Getting the opportunity to be successful in college will not only make me feel proud, but also my family will be proud of the things I will succeed in.
I agree with you totally, I used to take the bus and bart everywhere and it's hard being on public transportation time. That's great you don't let that stop you from succeeding. Money is always a issue in everyones life, well those whom struggle with limited amounts. I understand I'm on a budget myself. Just take advantage of all the things you can use to succeed thats they only way to show others and yourself you can do it all, and all by yourself.
