<p>What pushed you to succeed and be your very best through high school? Was it your parents? A role model that you looked up to? A competitor in school?</p>
<p>This might sound silly, but for me it was Rory Gilmore from Gilmore Girls. I’ve always loved that show and I discovered Junior year that watching it when I got home from school before I did my homework was a real motivator! It helped me relax and do something fun but then as soon as it was over I was thinking, Rory got into Harvard and Yale. She worked hard and dedicated all her time and energy to studying and now she’s at Yale! I can do that too!</p>
