College Admissions Essay: Disappointment And Success

Disappointment can come with your biggest success or legacy. As for me it had to come at the wrong time. I am a true dedicated wrestler and have great vibes when it comes to the mat. I have had my biggest upsets and my achievements, and to be in that situation is unbearable.

The answer is mindset and determination, something you want so bad you can go for and achieve. Do not let a broken hand or anything like that get to you, you can still perform the best even if something has gone
