My goals had not been found and I had a lack of motivation to go out and experience my life. This changed when I witnessed true dedication in 2011.

She often said things like “Don’t disturb me right now I need to study.” Or “Leave me alone right now, I need to get this done.” The stress was getting to her. She was studying day in and day out to become chiropractor. She had plans to start a business as soon as she finished her doctorate. Once her finals came around all of her hard work paid off. She attended her graduation proudly. After the graduation a friend came to her with a offer. “ Start a business with me 50/50. “ My mother pondered the offer for about a week then she decided to accept the offer. They decided to name their business “ Chiropractic Wellness Center ” The statistics show that most businesses fail within one or two years. My mothers business blew that theory out of the water, getting almost double the number of new patients per month, In comparison to a normal chiropractic

    The semester before my freshman year I applied to an early college high school; I knew that I was going to have more work than if I had went to the traditional high school, but I knew I could do it. At first I was doing well, but as time went on the work became more challenging and frequent eventually my grades fell and took my pride with it.

And before I knew what was actually happening, I was a matriculated college student.…
