High School, Low School

I don't know what my outlook on life is at the moment. Especially when it comes to higher education. What's going on with that? How come decent people can't get into these lame schools? And how come it hurts so bad? Now, I'm one of the ones who has schools trying to get them still. It's flattering, but I know I'm just another set of good numbers to them. I don't know what I'm trying to say. Don't let some institution determine your value. YOU determine your value. All you really have is yourself so know your worth. It doesn't matter where you go. Your school name is not branded on your face, and the people who do wear their school's name like it's their skin probably only have that going for them. They think the school they went to makes them more valuable to the world. Well what about your personality? Your morals? The way you treat others? That can really determine your value. But anyway, these schools can really make you feel like the past four years of stress, tears, and work seem like a complete waste. Don't give them that much power. In those four years you learned so much and experienced more than you think. The schools we apply to do not determine our value. Do not let them make you feel like you are not valuable. Do not let the people who give these institutions the power to determine their worth make you feel like you are not valuable. You'll get to where you need to be. Rejections hurt, but you'll move past it. You'll move forward. Remember your value. Always remember how valuable you are and never allow any outside sources the power to decrease that value.
