Everyday getting a little better

I always thought of my self as a normal person just doing as I was told by my parents like go to school stay focus be a good person. I thought that was is expected from me but as I mature from elementary through high school and now in college I see that being on path to follow and not giving up is being a hero I never thought of it that way. Looking back now when I was in elementary and middle school I always thought that 50% of what you learn in math was just a waste of time something that you will never you use in everyday life. But I was wrong as because later I was in a situation between distance and time I had to estimate it in my head so can guess if I can make it in time for work a certain equation I remember in middle school rang in my head and this showed me that school help me to be on time for work now as I see it education is the power I possess and I should not give up no matter what subject quiz test it is because I  can get better at it everyday I can get better and better until I am successful.
