Answer:

"always wanted to do things differently"

Step-by-step explanation:

brat

[brat]

NOUN

derogatory

humorous

a child, typically a badly behaved one.

Doing things differently could be counted as misbehaving depending on what it is. But if we look at the rest of our answers,

" continued to do so " doesn't answer anything to do with the word ' brat '.

" graduate college and enroll in medical school " doesn't seem like something a brat would do if they were a misbehaved child.

" high hopes " doesn't answer anything to do with the word ' brat '.
