I was in the final lap of my high school education, graduation was in sight and college was on the horizon. Yes, there were a few speed bumps along the way, but the vision was always clear. I wanted to enjoy university. High school was definitely a chore for someone like me. I wanted to participate in activities and classes that I knew I would or could enjoy. I felt like nothing would stop me, and for the last three weeks, nothing has stopped me. Throughout my life, Nana has had a great influence considering my high school education and current college career. While others discouraged me mainly because of my personality, at least the majority of those around me never lost hope in what I could do. Now, I'm not saying that no one else wanted to inspire me or believe in me. But my grandmother was the most visible. Unlike those who believed in me, the words she spoke seemed as pure as sweet caramel. This might be difficult to understand for those who don't know me a hundred times
