Motivation comes to me in many forms be it from my family and friends,
school, work, art, or music. Making the transition from a regimented
high school student to an independent college student has definitely
presented challenges along the way for me. For the past 4 years I have
worked at a pizzeria near my house and I often vent to one of the
supervisors about my school work and schedule. He has explained to me on
many occasions in several different ways that learning sacrifice and
hard work now will prepare me for the roads ahead. If I'm not willing to
invest in my future, the harder I will have to work throughout life
just to keep up. This motivates me to preserve and buckle down when I
feel like goofing off or giving up when times get tough.
