Often I feel as though I am supposed to be someone other than who I am. Coming from my background, I often feel an excessive amount of pressure to succeed academically. My parents had attended this university and struggled. My sister had even attempted to attend college, but it was not meant to be. I have never had much trouble in school, and gotten honor roll every semester at a very difficult high school in Memphis. Because of this, my family has always had such high expectations for me and unintentionally applied a lot of unwanted pressure to my success. This makes me feel somewhat out of place.
