My photo shows a torn-out piece of a magazine left on a parking lot floor. It faintly reads "Achieve Greatness". I was taking the trash out looking for a sign so that I wouldn't give up on my dream of becoming a physicist. The economy has been dwindling, and I had to make a financial decision, go to school or drop out and work full time. The magazine though torn and ran over, gave a clear message. Don't give up on the American dream. Stay resilient in the face of adversity and aim to "Achieve Greatness". It conveys the beaten down spirit that still aims to have hope.
