When/what/who inspired you to obtain a certain goal?

How did you become inspired to go obtain a very important goal in your life?

Did you get what you wanted and how gratifying was it trying to achieve what you wanted even if you fell short of your goal?

My dad, making me work with him in the summer and when i went to night school. It was deffinantly "Oh hell no, i'm staying in school, i aint doing this shit for the rest of my life"


And now here i am

Being raped and molested and not having anyone to talk to (like a therapist) made me want to be a children's counselor. Having to deal with the crap i dealt as a kid..all by myself...just made me super determined to be that one person children can turn to in tough times.

that and the fact i really just love kids


and my mom's crappy parenting inspires me to be a better parent than she was.

My favorite quote is "The best revenge is bettering yourself." What you said reminded me of that.

All I can think of right now is my most recent goal.

My English teacher (during school, so a few months ago) told my class about a scholarship available to spend a week at my dream college for writing. I had to give a sample of my work in with the application so I was really nervous. I kept telling my Mom what I submitted wasn't my best, and I probably wouldn't get it, but she wouldn't accept that.

Turns out, I DID get it and I had the best week of my life. :D

Excellent.
