A time when I had to prove myself and my beliefs was when I was trying to convince my parents about what college I want to go to. My parents seem to have this idea that University of Texas is the best university ever. It's not that I don't believe that but I just believe that it's not the only university that is good. So I decided that I want to go to Texas State instead. When I told them about this it was like their whole view of me came crashing down. They at first thought that I was only going there to be with my boyfriend. They might even still think that. However, it is definitely not because of that and that is exactly what I told them. I told them that the reason I want to go to Texas State is because I want to experience something different, instead of having to rely on my parents all the time. I want it to be something I did by myself, something that I didn't need much help with. I don't know whether or not they believe me yet but they seem to start loosening up on the idea of me attending that university. I'm going to have to prove myself once I am there as well. It's almost as if every new experience is about proving yourself, in one way or another.
