I decided to follow what I wanted to do for college instead of what my family wanted. My mother and grandparents had certain ideas about where I should go and what I should do, but I chose to go where I wanted and where. I felt the deepest sense of contentment. This has allowed me to become excited by my future and has let me see that I can start making my own choices as I enter adulthood. It has allowed me to follow my heart and stand on my own, even when it's an unpopular choice. I have never been happier or more excited than I am now.
