I always wanted to be a teacher when I was going up, to be exact, I was in kindergarten saying curse words to a classmate. I wasn’t the best student growing up because it was really difficult for me to pay attention in class, all I wanted to do was just to color.
“You’re so loud I can hear you down the hallway”
Then skipping right through middle school and high school and into my college years of wanting to get the hell out of there ASAP.
I have a decent Engineering Mechanical Degree from a UC college that happened to be one of the top 20 engineering programs. People would be really grateful to be even admitted to a college like UCSD. me? I was still upset I was rejected my UCLA that after my rejection, I gave up college but I still had to continue.
Skipping all the feelings of rejection which I found out later in life that if I had just keep that feeling and let it burn through my college years, I wouldn’t have been so uptight.
I was really. really. seriously about school work. I went in with omfg, I hate colleges, to omg, how can I make use of all the guys who are chasing me? I’m a female, who happens to be less than that 5% in these engineering focus male dominate fields, let alone, all of the “work” I had to put it.
Ok, I shouldn’t be super uptight and seriously about this because because the less than 5% in these classes, I had it great.
I made friends the 1% smartest guy out there, and the 3% less than 1% smart guy. Where was in this? well…if I told you, you wouldn’t believe me.
How would anyone believe me if I told you I fell asleep in ALL of my classes besides the best class, Dynamics.
I was so desperate to actually try to impress my teachers that I had something in me, to take as a female, strong, smart, engineer, I mean an engineer who just wanted to get a degree and get that $$$.
I graduated short of summa cum laude, with a goal to get summa cum laude. Even though I was a sleeper of all engineering classes minus one, I am severely to a toxic mentality of getting and reaching all of my goals. I landed with a 3.78, because of a music class, banned with a B- and after that, it wasn’t over because that minor mishap, or should I say, barrier? It made me want to succeed even more.
The time it took me to get there
