Reading the chapter "THE WAITING IS THE HARDEST PART" is very true. I thought that this part interested me the most:
"I've been waiting since the fifth grade. At the age of ten, I decided that Yale was the college for me, and anyone who disagreed wasn't even worth talking to. When someone asked me what I was going to do when I grew up, I would smile and reply that I was going to Yale. "Oh! They'd exclaim, that's a very good school. What do you want to study?" That question always stumped me. "I don't know," I wouldn't reply," but I was going to Yale anyway."
This interested me the most because it explained how ready and confident a ten year old was. I don't remember saying I was going to college when I was ten. Its very funny and cute in a way how young kids have their minds set on what they want to do and yet some people I know including me don't have a clue about what we want to do. I can use this a motivation because if a ten year old can know what they want in life I know that I can do it too.
