The Day I Changed
every person needs a day like this
it’s 2021 and I’m a sophomore in college
I had been struggling with my grades since covid made school online asynchronous and I’m someone that needs to be in person
and I had crappy grades last semester too, and my tennis coach (because I played college tennis) told me if I didn’t get my grades up I wouldn’t be allowed to play matches, and shortly after, not even practice
and given the only reason I went back for my second year to play tennis, I was trying to focus on improving my grades
and I remember I had this midterm that was going to basically decide if I could play tennis or not
and I absolutely bombed it
and I knew what this would mean
and I texted one of my buddies that I bombed it and I remember being in our college gym and he called me and I stepped outside
and he goes “I know that exam didn’t go your way, are you good?”
and I told him I’m fine but I knew I wouldn’t be able to play tennis now
and told him I’m done with this BS college thing
learning from professors that I wouldn’t dare trade positions with, that told me my grades would “follow me for life” and on top of that they stripped away our social life and then they’ll take away tennis too
and he just goes “so what are you going to do?”
and I remember telling him “I’m dropping out. I’m over school and I know this isn’t for me”
Closify was in the early stages at this point, just 1-2 months old
a few days later, I packed up my car and left school
I told my coach I’m not coming back and to not bother
I told my professors and they just told me what a dumb decision I was making and how “I won’t be able to get into certain rooms without a degree”
and as I’m driving the 6.5 hours home, an prospect calls me back for Closify, and says “hey let’s do it” and pay’s $1500
on that day I decided that I was going to be all in
and I believed with every fibre in my body not that I’d prove everyone wrong, but to prove to myself I was right
and I was right
6 months later I moved to Miami
a year later I hit my first six figure month
I bought my first car at 21
I flew out all my best friends to Miami for my 21st birthday
I’ve had experiences most could only ever dream of
I sold my first company at 22
but none of the material stuff I’ve bought matters - that’s why you don’t see it on my socials
what matters is I live the life that I want to live
when most people live the life, that their parents wanted for them, or that society pushes onto them
Never again can someone take away anything from me, tell me I can’t play tennis, tell me I can’t go see my friends, make me be somewhere at a certain time
and I have all of this because one day, I just decided.
This is my life, and I’m going to go all in on living it how I want
and I want to be the person to tell you that you can do it too
I'm no smarter than you
I’m no different than you
I was just a kid that got fed up with people telling me what I can and cannot do
and changed that day
and I want today to be the day for you
I know it’s a hard and sometimes lonely path to go down
I didn’t find like minded people that pushed me until I got to Miami
