My acceptance into Ohio State was one my happiest moments. It proved to me that hard work truly pays off. I was always the kid in my friend group that would stay in on some weekend nights to study after being heckled for hours by friends begging me to come out. I had one goal set in my mind and that was to get into Ohio State. From hard work I was able to get good grades in high school, but when I took the ACT for the first time it was really disheartening. The score I received was nowhere near the score that is needed to get into the school. Even though it scared me I did not let it phase me. For the next 6 months I dedicated myself to improving my weaknesses and improving my techniques in order to get the score I wanted. It has always been a life long dream of mine to go to this school and looking back and seeing all the work I did to get to this point is really refreshing. This event showed me that you can do anything you set your mind to. How you achieve goals is by zeroing in on one point and not letting anything that may hit you to make you lose your focus. With relentless drive it is crazy what someone can accomplishment. If you want something bad enough you will do what it takes in order to meet that objective. Do not give up. Do not give up.
