Why I Want To Pursue My Pre-Sch Education

For eighteen years now my parents have influenced me to do my best in academics and extracurricular activities. Both of my parents have gone to college and both have had successful careers. My dad was a highly recognized Police Chief for Waukesha County and is now on the

My parents want nothing more than for me to be successful in my life. For example, they did not think that they were going to have enough money to send me and my brothers through college, so my mother decided that she was going to go back to school so she could become a successful lawyer. She did that and she finished second in her graduating class. She now has a high ranking job and my parents feel confident that they will be able to get the four of us through school somehow.

Dedication and a Plan are two components needed to achieve my ultimate goals and hit milestones throughout my years at Texas A&M International University. However, growing up in a large household of six people with only one source of income is extremely difficult due to other expenses they are responsible to pay and the increasing amount of pressure my parents face every day will, unfortunately, become detrimental. Furthermore, my older sister is currently attending university but with a small amount of help from my parents who scrape up however much money they can. Moreover, both of my parents will not be able to help me pay for my college tuition for they are balancing a tremendous amount of bills to relieve themselves from an overwhelming

Ever since I was a young child, my parents always told me to try my best in school, they always told me this for the reason that they never had the opportunity to have a good job because they never finished school. This event is shaping me to care a lot regarding my education. In addition to that, another event that has shaped me to become the person I am today is that since my parents don’t have good paying jobs they have to work hard to take care of me and my siblings this event has caused me to become a hard working person and to seize all opportunities to live a good life because I don’t want to struggle like my parents.

For as long as I remember, my mother always talks about the importance of education. Her passion for education passed down to me.My parents leaving the comfort of their country for The American dream inspires me every day to achieve my dreams.

Of course, my parents were also my role models but there was a difference between my parents and my teachers. Being a daughter of immigrant parents had its obstacles. For example, when it came to completing my assignments I struggled because of my parent’s low proficiency in the English language. I was not receiving the assistance and support that I should have been of receiving. Having a positive and strong relationship with my teachers facilitated my decision to seek for the assistance I needed. My teachers never looked down on me or embarrassed me because I could not grasp the material at the same pace as the other students. They understood my situation and offered my family and I the assistance we needed to best aid in my success in accomplishing my work and contributing to the learning environment of the classroom. I was never given any kind of privilege or special treatment. I always worked diligently to thrive in my courses. Without that strong and positive relationship with my teachers I would have never found the motivation and inspiration to continue with my education through grade school and attend a four-year institution.

For example, my parents have instilled in me a strong work ethic and a willingness to make sacrifices for others. My mother has a job in sales for a large software company, and my father is employed as a mechanical engineer for a small company that makes outdoor displays. My father works long hours on challenging projects; he leaves for work every day at five in the morning and comes home late in the evening. My mother travels frequently and has a busy schedule, yet seems to always find the time to get me to practices, meetings and doctor’s appointments. She has a knack for juggling it all. They are motivated by their desire to provide me with a better life than they had growing up.

They were the ones that carved out time every night to sit down with me in my room and read these books. They fully committed to making me a proficient reader and committed to my education. I am so thankful that they valued education and put that at the top of the priority list in my life. Education and reading was put as the number one priority very early on in my life, this precedent is what eventually turned me into a successful student. Also, constant pressure and oversight from my parents forced me to do well in school. My love for competition and natural love of learning drove me to be the best at everything I did when I was younger. My parents also encouraged me and enabled me to do whatever my passions and desires led me to do. Looking back now, another thing that I greatly appreciate is how much my parents pushed me while I was growing up and learning. At the time I didn’t exactly enjoy the extra pressure or push but them pushing me to go above and beyond made me thrive as a kid and wildly secede and everything I did, including reading and

When I was a young girl, I remember seeing the determination my parents had. They fought to provide a better lifestyle for me and my sisters. Every day was figuring out how they were going to put food on the table and to ensure homework was done. On the weekends, my parents made me dedicate time to read books or do something educational. I hated it and always complained, then they would lecture me about how hard it was for them to get an education and how good I had it compared to living in their country, Cambodia.

If I had to name important characters I learned from my parents, I would say they are being a hardworker and humble individual. Both of my parents do not have a post-secondary education making me the first to attend college, which is a privilege. I have an immense respect towards my parents for being fieldworkers because even though it is not a “high statues” ideal career they do what they can to provide for our family. They have worked blazing summers and frigid winters to give us the chance to educate ourselves. These sacrifices have become ultimate motivation factors that push me forward when I feel frustrated with school.

One reason why my parents will always be my biggest motivators is because they know what 's right from wrong and they know life. They tell me and always pushed me to do my best no matter what. They told me I 'm going to have a lot of distraction and a lot of things I do not want to go through but, its going to happen, thats just life. In the beginning of Elementary school, I

I began to rebel and grades were no longer as important to me as they were to my father. My grades slipped to a C average, and that was not good enough. Instead of getting upset, my father encouraged me to apply myself. It took a couple of years, but he made me realize the importance of school, and that I only had one shot at doing it right. I graduated high school in the top ten percent of my class, thanks to my father.

I’m blessed to have the parents I have because they take the best care of me. I want to make them proud of everything I accomplish. I also want to make them proud when I graduate from high school and college. I will always try to help my parent when I can, or at least help do the work to take the stress off of them. This is why I live by my personal

My father's protectiveness and selflessness generated at a young age for him. He is the ninth of twelve children, and often told us stories of how he had to look after, and practically raise his three younger siblings after my grandfather had passed. He made certain they completed their chores around my grandmother's farm, maintained good hygiene practices, and kept up with their schoolwork. School was extremely important to my father, because he knew an education was the only way he could be successful.

When I was eight years old my parents separated, and they got officially divorced when I was twelve. After my parents separated, my mother took on being a single-parent. My father gave up all his rights to my sister and I. Prior to my parents separating, my family was considered upper-middle class. My dad worked as a computer engineer, and my mom was a stay at home mother. After my parents split, my sister and I went from having everything to nothing in a day. My mom had to move back in with her parents until she could find a full-time job and a place for us to live. Because I have seen my mother struggle as a single-mother, I matured a lot faster than most children my age. Even though we struggled with money growing up, my mother always made it a point to go on vacation yearly with my sister and I; I have been to over 30 states because my mom loves to road trip. Additionally, it has always been a family tradition of ours to go to the state fair every year. Because of my family experience growing up, I am very independent. I also learned to appreciate the little things in life. My mom always taught my sister and I that time spent with family is far more valuable than materialistic things. My mother and I are very close to this day, and I will forever be grateful for everything she has done for my sister and me.
