I think this because Pete didn't graduate high school until two years after he was supposed to, and no one had faith in him.
But, he was successful and he proved everyone wrong.
PETE WAS.
I believe that Pete's success has grown more and more throughout the years and he is completely successful as of now.
With over 28 million users and counting, Pete will have a good amount of success.
