“The Red Rubber Ball

‘Follow your passion and work hard for it and I really can achieve anything!’

That is what my mom wrote to me in the back of this book that she gave me. It’s called “Rules of the Red Rubber Ball”, I have just skimmed over it. It is really neat in my mind. Lately I feel like, everyone has been saying that I really couldn’t achieve some of my most valued goals. Then i get in trouble for saying they don’t know what they’re talking about, I can succeed!! Don’t doubt me…
My mom also mentioned in her note how so many adults only settle on what seems realistic, and my goals seem to be far from realistic.
My goals are simply:

~Get a 35 or 36 on my ACT
~Get into MIT to become an architect
~Work on my music career
~Come out with at least one hit song [not to be a one hit wonder or anything, thats just the goal for now]
~Travel Northern Europe, Denmark and Germany especially

I’m a fighter, I will never give up…Trust me on that one.

As I’ve heard said: “If you can conceive and believe it, you can achieve it!”  Nothing can stop a fighter - with a vision - but lack of heart.  Stay true, stay strong and stay focused…and I’ll bet you see a 36 or better on your ACT.

 

What’s your Red Rubber Ball?!
