I come from a rural area where my life has been a struggle since my childhood years. coming from a family of five and being raised by one parent most of my life i was always been told to set a good example for my younger siblings. my father has never been around as much as i would have wanted him to be. so i can pretty much say i never had a father figure, i have faced many obstacles growing up and i still haven't completely learned how to overcome every single one.
The struggle of living in such a small community i have always been motivated to keep a mind set of pursuing a higher education after high school. This has been one of my main reasons to have pushed me to be the person who i am today and why i have set the goals that i have set for myself today. My parents did not go to college and my older sister never finished college so i want to be the first in my family to finish college. My mother has always told that the only to be successful in life to proceed a higher education to get a good job so i won't have to struggle the way she did growing up. My parents had a rough marriage from the start until my sophomore year when my mother decided to file for divorce. As i got older i realized that i have never had that father figure that i have always wanted and that made me realize many things. I have always dreamed about growing up and working on cars, but my main goal is to graduate high school and attend Universal Technical Institue away from home. My world has shaped me to want to have goals such as these because i believe that the only way to succeed in life is to have a good education.
The school and community i come from is small everyone knows each other and news spreads rapidly, throughout my high school journey i have come to a point where i want to get away from all these things and move to a bigger community. When i reach the goals i have set for myself i wish to comeback and open up a shop and for the community that was my motivation since my childhood.
