Being successful is something I always have taken great pride in, but can not always guarantee. When entering college, I knew it would be a whole new world for me and my high level academics. I had a variety of people giving me advice and telling what I should and should not be doing to ensure I was top notch as I ventured to San Francisco State University. Instead, it went in one ear and out the other, to where I had to learn from my own mistakes and misfortune. Now, I pride myself on being a good
