Meeting Expectations Contest

My life to this point has been pretty hard. Growing up, being called a tub of lard. Always hanging out with the popular group. But always being the one left out of the loop. In high school I was one of the jocks. The one everyone laughs at and mocks. These people made me not want to face tomorrow. So I learned to deal with it, by drowning my sorrow. Eventually this lifestyle got me jailed. Then I saw in life I had failed. I vowed to change my life after that day. They all looked at me and thought, can't happen, no way. I got into school and made really good grades. They said it didn't matter if it took me decades. So I wanted to show them not everything seems as it appears. Soon enough I was graduating college, and in just three years. Your expectations were so ungodly high for me, that you would never approve of anything I could be. I pushed myself so hard, that I received my PhD. Now don't care about your expectations or what you think of me.
