"My Physics professor in high school laughed at me when I said I wanted to become a Mechanical Engineer. He told me that I was not smart enough to be an engineer. Today, I’m the only PhD holder from that class. Even the top performers didn’t get a master's."
@SteelRunnings said:
"I’m with you, Harriet! In the 7th grade, I was told by a boy classmate that I would never get into the U.S. Naval Academy. I said to him, “Oh yea? Watch me!” And the rest is history."
@HonFredrick said:
"Funny thing, in my school here in Africa, Nairobi, Kenya to be exact, my high school Deputy principal told me the same thing and added that I’m a pothead from the ghetto and will never amount to anything."
