When I was 18, my life changed in an instant. After my mother passed away, I was left with my dad until he died in a car accident. I was stuck with Kelly, my stepmother, who never liked me. Despite the constant tension, my dream was to go to college.
One day, I received my acceptance letter, but Kelly burned it in front of me, saying I was working at her café instead. I felt crushed, but everything changed when a man showed up at our door.
Mr. Robertson, a former college friend of my mom’s and the Dean of Admissions, had come to tell me my mom had always wanted me to go to college. He even had a copy of my acceptance letter and offered me an internship. With his support, I stood up to Kelly
, telling her I was going to college no matter what.
I left her house, moved in with a friend, and started my internship. With scholarships and hard work, I eventually graduated, built a career, and found happiness. I never looked back at Kelly, who tried to crush my dreams. I learned that no matter how hard people try to hold you down, you must rise and fight for your dreams.
