Yeah, my parents didn't go to university so they have really pressured me to going. I've got offers from universities, all I need to do is get the grades.

Every time you're applying for a new job you have to prove something to someone.

Yeah, I can understand that. I guess a way that I'd choose to look at it isn't by feeling like you need to prove anything to anyone else. I'd look at it as a way to get a sense of accomplishment for yourself. Hang tough and think about how it will feel for you to be the first person in your family to go up in front of a big crowd of people and accept your diploma. I can tell you...it feels good to get that little piece of paper. It's something that you'll be able to feel proud about for the rest of your life.

If proving things to myself count then yeah, I like to prove to myself that I can do certain things. Other than that, nope.

Mainly to prove something to myself -- tbh, I am very harsh on myself; failure simply isn't an option.

There is only one thing right now and that is a gentlemans agreement I had with a friend that involves me getting in shape.
