I am who I am, I have fallen, bled, and many times
I have stood back up. I am not a victim of the
systems before me, of the things that try to stop me,
I am their students. I learn from them so that one
day the times I've failed will teach me to win, To
be the one to passes over them, not a product of them
but the result of a reaction to their ways. I am
a student in the most convoluted school in the world.

My name is Christopher Paolini and I attend the

University of the World.
