Introduction
Good morning everyone,
My name is Ali, and today I’m here to talk to you about how much I love it when people doubt me.
Personal Story
When I was in high school, I wanted to pursue a career in the arts. But many of my family and friends were skeptical about it. They thought it was a waste of time, and there were no job opportunities in the arts.
So I took on a job at a local store stocking shelves, and I put my dream of pursuing the arts on the backburner.
Motivation
But I eventually realized that I didn’t want to give up on my dream. I wanted to prove to my loved ones that I could make it in the arts.
So I decided to go back to school and get a degree in art and design. It wasn’t easy, but I worked hard and eventually graduated with honors. I even landed my dream job creating art for a local museum.
Conclusion
So in conclusion, I’m glad I didn’t give up on my dream and I’m glad my loved ones doubted me. Their doubt was the motivation I needed to prove that I could make it in the arts.
So never give up on your dreams, no matter how difficult it may seem. Believe in yourself and be willing to work hard, and you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
Thank you for listening.
