#believeit by Alexis - April 2018 Scholarship Essay

Alot of people let their own self doubt control the direction of their life. They tell themselves, "I'm just another person, I'm not special enough to become a legacy," but believing that is the first step to failure. Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, Steven Hawking, all of the amazing idols we here of, they made it because they believed. They didn't let the critique of society and doubts stop them from making extradinary acheivements and discoveries. A lot were told they wouldn't make it, but this drove them to try harder. They knew that somebody needed to seek greater knowledge, and that that somebody could be them. Your purpose is much higher than your eyes will ever see. The purpose of the people around you, that as well is greater than your eyes will ever see. Every person was placed on this world to put in their piece. So strive for your best, try with all of your effort within you to become who you dream to be. Any dream you can imagine can become yours if you put your all to it and set that path. If you do not set your path with that at reach, you will follow one in a direction you do not see the destination of. Set your destination, and learn that every success takes little steps. You did not go from a laying infant to running on your own. You learned to sit, crawl, to walk, and stumble before find stability to run. Take it slow, miracles do not happen overnight, they are worked for. They take effort, dedication, self-motivation, ans perserverence. A life of true success is not each for, it is seen and not able to be reached. You take baby steps and keep pushing, through the moments of despair. Do not let one failure set you back and change your destination. If you get knocked of track, reroute and fix your way back on to your path. If you believe you are enough and that you can do it, you are halfway there. Believe in yourself, believe in others, #believeinit.
