<p>Well, let your mom know that even the great Charles Schulz went through many years of rejection before someone picked up his cartoon, “Little Folks”. Even when his cartoon was picked up, the Syndicate did not like the name of “Little Folks” and changed it to “Peanuts” against Schulz’s will. Talk about the ultimate rejection! So for 50 years, Charles Schulz was forced to use a different name for his comic strip. However, his success led him to become in the Forbes Top ten Entertainers (worth over 1B dollars). </p>
<p>I see rejection as a chance to excel in a place where you never thought you would be. Obviously your mom wants you to go to college NOW. But maybe that’s not what is meant to be NOW. </p>
<p>I am a non-traditional student. I’m not fresh out of high school. I learned, that sometimes you need to go out into the world and live a little, before it better makes sense. Then, when you are ready, you can come back and wow the audience (in your case, your mom).</p>
<p>Right now, it’s about you. What do YOU want to do with your life. Not your mom. Your goal in life isn’t to be a people pleasure. You need to find out what makes YOU tick, and then go do it. </p>
<p>Rejection is a part of life. It’s a tough thing, but I just think of it as a learning opportunity, and that whatever I had tried for, wasn’t meant to be.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
