Steve Job’s speech really speaks to me about life and its expectations. Despite The pressure set up for him to attend college from the time he was born, he gave it a shot, and found it wasn’t for him. In choosing to drop out and form his own path is where he found success. And even once he found success, it wasn’t a happily ever after. He faced another huge struggle being fired from his own company, but eventually used it as a chance at a new beginning instead of allowing it to drag him down. This is the sort of mindset I hope to carry through life. Everything is temporary, and change is constant, so you must keep looking to the future and knowing that if you are not happy with where you are now, you can find a way to get to where you want to be.
These concepts can be applied to any aspect of your life, even a senior thesis project. There’s a long road ahead that will bring many challenges and changes, but I hope to welcome and overcome them the best I can to produce something I can be proud of.
