As we are being forced currently to think about college, I have decided I am going to go to MIT. My ACT score is already high enough, but I'm going to try to get better, and I'm taking the SAT, and for a subject test I've decided to take biology, as I won't be far enough in physics. I know they only accept 20% of admissions, and that it is the 2nd (Caltech I think is the first) hardest school to get into in the US, and I've been letting that discourage me for years, and assuming I could never get in, but you know what? I reckon I have a chance. My standardized test scores are very good, I have had a 4.0 all through high school (and still have one), and am taking the hardest possible classes. I will have, by college, college credit in math (quite a bit), some in biology, some in American history, some in English, and some in American government. If I can get 4's and 5's on those tests, I've got it made.
It really is possible, I think. I've always wanted to go there, but I thought I wasn't smart enough. It's just beginning to dawn on me as we are thinking about college that I do have everything it takes to get in, not to mention an awesome math background as I will have already taken 3 years of calculus by the time I graduate from high school.
It's not just a dream anymore. It's a possibility. And I can do it. I know I can!
