I believe hard work bring forth great achievements. Statistics states that you usually dies in the class you are born in, but I beg to differ. My father was one of 8 children that were raised by a single mother. My grandmother had to go to the market and sell fish every day. Anything that didn’t sell was dinner for that night. She wasn’t educated so this was the only way she could make money. dispite this my fatherwas able to make his way to the United States and get a better education. I believe that if you are driven, focus, and determined enough you can reach your goal(s). At one point I didn’t believe I had the back ground or the income to dream big. I pretty much counted myself out. I got pregnant my last year of high school. I didn’t go to prom or walk at graduation. I was just too embarrass. I wasn’t married and didn’t have any plans of the sort. I want on to taking classes a year after and earning my diploma. As a young mother college was the farthest thing from my mind. I felt being there for my child was more important at the time. After all it was partly my falt she was here. I didn’t want to ask for too much help because I didn’t want the “I told you so” speech. Not until I had my third child did my entire prospective change. I started viewing my life differently. I had been blessed with three beautiful children. My husband is the bread winner of our household. What if something disrupt our family, whether it be tragic or not. How will I provide for them? That was all it took for me after ten years and three registration attempts to finally attend college. I believe no matter how long it takes or what the obstacles are you can bring your dreams to fruition. This I Believe.
