One piece of advice that has stuck with me, I guess wasn't
really direct advice, but rather a quote from President Obama in one of his
State of the Union addresses in 2011. "Don't be interested so interested
in the winner of the Super Bowl, be more interested in the winner of the
Science Fair." for me these words held special importance, because as a
student, I felt like he was talking directly to me, and to me he was simply
reminding me to be more active in my education. Encouraging me to stand out,
and work harder in order to achieve something great. I always remember these
words, whenever I get frustrated with school work, or am making a decision
about whether or not to go that extra mile to be exceptional. It has taught me
that in order to stand out among the crowd, as must provide more than the minimum
effort on a task sometimes, and push aside the distractions in order to create
something that is a true reflection of what I'm capable of. Make it something
important to me, and not an annoyance.
