Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 1: Clear your mind.

   Do not listen to those who try to bring you down by saying that you won't get a diploma, or it will kill you to get one.
   
   Just avoid them or ask them to keep their mind shut and mind their own business.
   
   It is your life and it is you who has to take all the decisions on your own with a little advice from anyone who you are the closest to.
   
   That person could be you parent, sibling, cousin, friend or just an acquaintance.
   
   But make sure you know that person really well and is able to help you when you need it.
