My Most Recent College and Career Decisions

Okay guys, as we know, I am a high school sophomoric that wants to go to college ASAP, obviously I can't just skip high school...so I'm just really gonna plan for college :)
My latest college choices are:


In order of choice:



So yeah. I have decided that I am going to go for either American History Education, English Education, or Political Science. I have also decided that I am gonna be a teacher. No matter what. I will not let any person or thing stop me from achieving my dream. This is what I want to do with my life, its been what I wanted to do with my life. And FYI: For all of those that doubt me, you will feel pretty bad when I have achieved everything that I set out to achieve.

This reminds me of a story that one of my teachers told me:

"My third grade teacher told me that I was a failure and that I would never amount to anything in life. It just so happens that when I was going to college for my Special Education degree, I was assigned to be a student teacher in that same school. One day I realized that she was standing across the room from me, and I decided to talk to her. I went to her and said "I don't know if you remember me, but in my third grade year of school you said that I would never amount to anything in life. Well guess what, I am now your peer and equal." Since then, I decided that I would never attempt to stop any student from doing what they want to do. And with that I leave you with the moral, Never let anybody tell you that you won't do something...prove them wrong"
 And I have been using those words to help me achieve what I want to do thus far. People said that I won't swim, I did. People have said that I won't stay in school, guess what, I am going to stay in school not only because I want to, but just to spite you. So just a reminder, I won't let anything stop me.

Just sayin'
