Doubt Leading to Success?

Has anyone ever told you that you wouldn't be successful in something?  Tell the story. How did you react?  What did you learn?

  1. People have told me that I won’t be successful in high school. That I’m going to be a drop out, and I won’t pass any classes. That’s all I’ve been told when I was in eighth grade. At the time I didn’t like school and I said I’m going to drop out jokingly to my friends. By the end of the year everyone in my classes told me that I “was”, even though I actually didn’t want to. Once freshman year came, less people gave me crap about being a screw up and a drop out. People found out that I failed two classes, so they didn’t stop picking on me. Once everyone knew that I went to summer school, they stopped saying I’m a high school drop out because they know I want to graduate and will even if people doubt me. I learned that don’t give up on something if someone doesn’t believe in you. When someone doesn’t believe in you, that’s when you get the most motivation

  2. I may have not been physically got told that I can’t do something. Like when I keep saying that I can make it to state for wrestling this year. But for some reason I told a couple people this that I could go to state but they didn’t believe me when I told them that. But I have the confidence that I can go to state, all I have to do is believe that I can do it if I set my mind to it.
    I learned a lot of from people telling me what to do and what not to do. All the people do for me is helping me. It makes me a lot better in practice when I go I work hard and gets better every day as I go along with the season. This year during Christmas time the whole JV and Varsity wrestling team is going to Atlanta Georgia, see that right there will get me really good during that whole week I will be there.
    All I did to react to the person looking at me weird was ignore it and keep walking. I want to go to state all I have to do is believe that I can do it and to try my hardest during season, And when state comes I will be ready.

  3. Back at my old school there was a rock wall that everyone not goes on and me and my group of friends they told me that I would not make it up there. So to prove them wrong I got myself hoc up and I started to climb. There a button at the top that you had to press, then it would ring. I was on the hard wall because the other one were full, so the last bit of wall you had to grab on a small stone and had to jump. I was losing my grip and I jump of it I slammed my hand into the button. I slowly when down. When I walk over to my friend and hit his hat off and yelled told you so.
