Giving Up Is Not An Option In My Life

When I was 8, I was diagnosed with ADD (attention deficit disorder). At the time, I did not realize how bad it really was until around early middle school. I started to notice my inability to stay on task. I was always getting frustrated and mad at myself until I said the only thing I can do is to try as hard as I can to work as hard as I can. I also had girlfriends who where "smarter than me" and they never realized just how hard it was for me. One of them told me I would never get out of high school and the same with teachers. But I never ever gave up and have passed all my classes since then. The story is still being written cause I am a senior this year and ready to graduate high school. I wrote this story to motivate people and to never ever give up and always stay humble and that nothing is impossible; you can be great at anything if you work hard. Thanks for your time.
