Life for me was always as a failure. Too ignorant to be smart and too negligent to show my potential. My life was beginning to dry up as it left me stranded with no hope. I was rotting away under my own weight. But someone came into my life and she taught me the strength to lift myself up. As time grew with her in my life, my passion to succeed and overcome emerged. My dearest friend gave me the motivation to educate myself, to help me get a greater understand of my future, as well as making me step outside my comfort zone. With all she has done and inspired me to do, she is my greatest role model.
The first reason she has impact me, was giving me a reason to want to educate myself. Me and her were different in our own prospective, I was the dumb failure who lacked the motivation to succeed in higher education while she was the A honor roll in everything student, in fact she got the most awards in her class year then everyone else. While attending her award ceremony, all I heard for each student was, "Congrats *blank* *blank* you received the attendance award for not missing any school." Then she came on stage, not receiving the attendance award, but fulfilling A honor roll, JROTC leadership, Best English student, and more, that I could not comprehend. This lead the audience to all applause loudly and cheer, cherishing her for all she did, even if it was just for that moment. Before this, I did not understand the possibility of why someone would put themselves through the
Throughout my life I faced a lot of challenges. I had to overcome the obstacle that was on my way. The obstacle made me stronger and made me the person who I am right
Success is a word that really hard to define, because everyone will have a different definition for this word. In fact, there no exact definition for the word "success". For a student, maybe the success means to pass all courses of the semester; for a business man, signing a importance contract and get a lot of money are successes; and for a president, leading the country to develop and make the people have a better life are success. For me, I also have my own definition for the word "success". When I was a kid, I really want to be a scientist, but after I become mature, my thinking has become more mature and my definition of success also
Success can mean different things to different people. The definition of success can change for a person at different stages of their life. A person's culture, family, friends, experiences, and environment can be a big influence on defining what success is to that individual. We all hear the stories of people failing and failing until one day they make it to the top, beat the bad guy or pass the trial. The story can also go that they got all they desired or raised up from the ashes. All of these have one thing in common, it is at the end of the story. It's never the beginning or middle. It's always at the end of the story that the person succeeds in their quest. But why does it have to be at the end? Simply, like how there is no good without evil. You can not have succeed without struggling and failing first.
I grew up watching my mother strive to give me a better life and become a better person. Amongst great difficulty, she decided to finish school and attend university. Her hard work and determination have marked and defined my life. Every day she had to work, then go to university and later take care of me. She excelled in every aspect of her life, teaching me that the impossible is overcome through hard work and
Our team practice everyday for 2 hours and our record was 23-1. We were the first team ever to win in our age division to ever win for St.Mary’s. We had a hard time in the beginning of the season. One of our best players injured her knee. She was running towards the loose ball and her knee twisted. She was out for the rest of the season. Looking back on it made me better because I learned how hard you to to practice or try to achieve your goal.
My life has been a struggle at times, but my thrive to succeed, determination, and enthusiasm for my education and my community has brought me to pursue my dreams.
Throughout my life I faced a lot of challenges. I had to overcome the obstacle that was on my way. The obstacle made me stronger and made me the person who I am right now a ambitious and hardworking student. The problem shaped me up because I know that I have to work for what I want and to not depend on no one, this made me more independent. Also, I learned from my mistake and try to do better.
In her family she was the only one to continue her education past high school. Hearing what it took to make this happen was incredible. When I was in grade school both my grandmother and grandfather took it upon themselves to make a college education account for all us grandkids. They didn’t want to see us struggle like they had to.
I have had many challenging and positive events in my life. A person shaped me in a challenging way was a friend that was like a brother to me. I thought he was a friend I would have forever. One day he started hanging out with other people that would always get in trouble.
She is someone I feel I could look up to and use her journey to help me. I am going to enjoy meeting with her more over the school year, as I may need her to answer more questions along my journey. She is an inspiration to me, because even when obstacles got in the way of her fulfilling her career she took hold of the situation and kept moving forward. I do not know anyone else who would have kept moving forward. I believe she can teach me a lot, because she has seen all the things that I have to look forward to, the good and the
My life revolves around 3 important things that keep me going everyday, family, soccer, and fashion . My family is very important to me because I know that no matter what happens they will always have my back. My family follows loyalty because we feel as if nobody should be left behind. I remember the day I came home to my parents arguing which led to my mother packing all our stuff to get out the house as soon as possible which was all so scary and confusing to me. We then just drove around and parked in front of a church to see how the night would end. As I was growing up, I had to learn to mature quicker not because I wanted to but because I had to. I had to leave me childhood fun to help my mother and siblings find brighter days. The day I remember I had to be the man of the house because someone who had that job before me couldn't handle it. I learned to not rely on everyone all the time because when you need them the most they won't be there. My parents divorced at a young age right before my little sister was born which all happened so quick for me however since that day I will never forget because it changed my life in a blink of an eye. Within time I learned it was for the best and it only made me wiser because I knew the mistakes and I
After the phsycilogical abuse from my parents, my only goal was to graduate and nothing further until I befriended my sister's friend. I didn't really think much of him until I discovered his past. This person came from living with a physically abusive father to living on the streets to becoming this successful person standing right infront of me. This person has shown me that no matter what background or family you come from, you can always bring yourself up. Because of this person I've been able to become who I am
Throughout the course of our existence we search for ourselves and what makes us truly happy. It makes sense that when we do not feel happy or content with ourselves that we find a way to change that. That’s where my adventure begins and continues to this day. This entire chapter of my life has been a battle with family, friends, and myself. I still think that no matter what others think my happiness and love for myself is more important. There’s times I let others opinions go before my mental health, I’ve always worried what others think. It may be why I still have problems today with this topic around my parents. The more I grow up the more I realize I don’t have to be what everyone else has labeled me as, I can be myself and be happy.
I was the first born in my family. I am the oldest of 20 great-grandchildren and 13 grandchildren; I’m the first of my generation in my family. With this being the case, I was often put in situations where it was just me and a bunch of adults. I am very grateful for this because, now, I can talk to adults and strangers very easily. Through these experiences, I have been able to have conversations with all sorts of people. I have heard stories of great success and of grand failures. In my experience, the wisest people are those who had awesome success without losing the meaning or true happiness of life. In my life, I have had two people who were real mentors to me, Jeff Sandefer and Gretchen Anderson.
At first introduction I am seen as perpetually cheerful and high energy. Coworkers, friends and acquaintances recognize quickly that I am fiercely competitive, passionate about my work, and easily classified as Type A personality. It is clear from my Instagram account I am obsessed with the outdoors; from skiing and hiking to mountain biking and camping, I search for adventure as often as possible. My Facebook is littered with photos of my four-year-old’s choice in outfits and silly quotes showing her viewpoint on the world. (“I’m a strong, interpendent woman!” is a recent favorite.) What many people don’t know, however, is the laundry list of traumas and tragedies I have endured. I often get the shocked deer-in-the-headlights look when someone finds out both my parents died within two years of each other. When it comes out that I married young to escape my emotionally abusive mother, just to realize my husband was also abusive, the comment is usually on how courageous it must have been to file for divorce and leave with my young toddler in tow. It is not uncommon to hear the exclamation, “But how are you so happy still?” after hearing of my multiple miscarriages.
