In my Junior year of High School History class, we wrote a term paper (or research paper) some of us were given a little extra time to turn in our first assignment. I don&#8217;t remember why any more. I do remember that I also turned in the next project and ended up with a &#8220;C&#8221; in the class because of it. Our History teacher posted our grades on a regular basis by the door to her classroom. I was initially irritated to see the &#8220;C&#8221; because I had an &#8220;A&#8221; for the first 2 semesters of the school year. Another student said that I couldn&#8217;t raise my grade enough to get an &#8220;A&#8221; for the semester. I laughed and said, &#8220;watch me&#8221;. I was not able to get the top &#8220;A&#8221; in that semester, however, I had the third highest by GPA. I felt great to be able to earn that grade.<\/p>\n<p>When someone doesn&#8217;t believe in me or that I can do something it fuels me even more! I love to accomplish those things! No, I don&#8217;t go back and throw it in their face or even become smug about it &#8230; I just enjoy the success!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">iron wil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.&#8221; &#8211; G.W.F.
