Why would they say that? | Because they said that I did not have the skills to be a pilot.
How would you feel triumphing over your largest critics when you were growing up as a kid? This was always a huge burden on me that had me second guessing myself all the time. You can't believe some of the things they said to kids here at this school. My counselor even told me to not waste my time applying for colleges because none would accept me based on my academic history. I had a 3.2 and a 1110 on SAT (pre-2005 scoring change). I am not too proud of those grades but I wouldn't say that someone had no chance at a college based off of those grades.
