<p>I want to have more options for my future than my parents do.
Not to mention that if I look back on high school and realize I didn’t do my best to get to the best place I could, then I’d be disappointed.
I also want to be the first person in my family to go to school out of the area, to break the mold. Not that I don’t love my family, but they are born in the same place, and stay in the same place.
Plus, with the area I live in, we don’t have a lot of high achieving students coming out of my school.
And, honestly, not being the best is okay with me. But I want to be among the best.</p>
