Hello NG,recently I applied for a summer program called MS(2), a math science program that would have gotten me a full scholarship, with which i could have gotten into SCAD university(Savannah College of Art and Design) which would have boosted my flash skills. However, today my father received a letter saying that I did not make it in. Now, I DID cry, alot in fact, but my father told me that I am only in 9th grade and this is just 1 of the many disappointments that I go through. And after he talked to me for a while, I realized that some people don't have jobs, everyday they get up and pray that today is the day they will finally find a job and sometimes, they do find a job and sometimes they don't , my father is no exception. Now I realize that sometimes it takes great disappointment to make yourself better. With this letter of failure, my drive has now been increased beyond space and nothing can stop it, I now realize that I should have spared no expense in working for this opportunity. And now, I shall keep this letter, so that when I start to lose my determination, this letter will remind me of what I almost had, but didn't get because I didn't go as far as I could. So as of now, I will be better in everything I do, I will be the best, no longer will I be damned to subordination to a classmate, my skill and drive shall damn them into eternal subordination. I know I sound like an ass right now, however what I say is the truth, my friends better enjoy seeing me stay behind as they go to MS(2) because from now on, they'll be watching my back.
