To The People Who Doubt Me

You are the reason why I get up in the morning, determined to succeed.

To The People Who Doubt Me
Caity Martinez

You are the reason why I push even harder to be the very best I can be. You are the reason why I get up in the morning, determined to succeed.

Your doubts have nothing on me.

This is my life and I am going to live it the way I want. I will not let your opinions, nor your judgment, stop me from it.

I am 20 years old. I know I am bound to make mistakes and take the wrong turns. It's all a part of growing up and finding who I am. There are going to be goals and dreams you may not agree with or think will not work out for me.

But you are not me. You do not walk in my shoes. You do not see from my perspective. You have not seen or been through the things that I have.

My wishes, dream, and wants in life, I feel with every part of my being. Deep within my soul.

I want to write a book at one point in my life. I dream to have a family of my own. I wish to change a person's life in a positive way.

I am using platforms like YouTube, blogging, Odyssey, and social media to spread positivity and light and to show people they are never alone. That they are beautiful, amazing, and deserve everything they want in this world because it is completely and utterly true.

If you don't agree with my views or opinions, it is very easy to ignore and keep going on with your life. In the end, I am going to pursue whatever I choose in life.

If it's researching in a lab, being a genetic counselor, a blogger, a writer, or all the above, it is none of your damn business.

I am going to live my life filled with so much love and happiness, knowing I made those choices.

Your doubts will not stop me from me from being truly content with myself.

I may change my mind over the years and go through situations that may develop new dreams and goals, but it will be all based on me.

Your doubts will not hinder me from achieving the unimaginable, and you are just going to have to deal with it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
