Undergraduate / How my world has shaped my life-UC Prompt [8]
Describe the world you come from - for example, your family, community or school - and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.
When I was younger, I was a disappointing student, and my parents could not help me because they were not academically prepared themselves. They tried their best to help me, but that halted when I entered middle school. I had to teach myself to learn whenever I did not comprehend something. This has affected my life since it forced me to work hard in school and always aim high.
My world has always revolved around learning. Life has taught me to apply everything I have learned to it. My family has shaped my life by providing me support and care. My parents always tell me that hard work will pay off and that I should keep trying until success is found. I did not agree with the idea at first, but as time passed, I realized that it was true. My grades were increasingly superior and I was getting academic awards. I kept that thought with me for all my classes.
School has shaped my life by allowing me to interact with new people and new opportunities ever since childhood. Every class meant different people to meet and new things to learn. It has given me the chance to see the diverse careers people are pursuing. School and education have given me a wider space to explore what is out there by granting me what I need to know in order to strive later on. I have also learned that all my hard work was not solely for the purpose to making my family pleased, but also to make me a better person and more successful.
School alone was not enough to shape my life for the future, so I had to take on different activities. My membership in Key Club has given me a better image of what the world is like and how communities act together as a whole by allowing me the chance to be included. I got involved with society through volunteering at events like breast cancer walks and community gatherings. I was no longer shielded from the fact that there is so much to learn from other people and everything else out there. My world has shaped my aspirations through helping me decide what is most beneficial for my future and changing my overall perception of the real world of knowledge.
