Day 13

A Diamond in the Rough

One of my all time favorite movies is Aladdin! I absolutely love the new real-life remake of the movie! But, as a kid I always connected to the story line and Aladdin. He was tough and independent and because of hard work and love, he became more!

My college experience feels a lot like Aladdin! My first few semesters, I hung out in the background not really trying to hard, just getting by! However, I then decided to step forward, be brave, and get involved. I found myself more in love with college when I took that step! But I learned…

There’s so much more to me!

-Aladdin

Once I gave myself a chance and dived into my education, I realized that under a lot of rough, there was a diamond. That is lesson #13

It’s not what is on the outside, but what is on the inside that counts!

Remember never go speechless, believe that you are more than a street rat, and with a little love and a genie, you can become a diamond, no longer in the rough!
