Undergraduate / "My dad passed away when i was just 11 years old", an application essay. [17]

After a person expeirences a death by a loved one in their life, they feel that they wont be able to move on in life with a positive attitude. My dad passed away when i was just 11 years old, and that is exactly how i felt. i thought, how am i going to grow up with out having my dad in my life, helping guide me through tough decisions i come across? How is this family suppossed to stay strong, miss such a strong member? Well at first, i wasnt really sure.

My mom soon took the role as both mom and dad, trying best to raise my 2 brothers and i. i never seen a person as strong and driven as my mom. she knew she couldnt let her kids see her down, she had to set a positive example, pulling it together for the family. there wasnt a day that went by where i saw my mom mopping around or giving up. she put all her effort into keeping me occupied to help me get throught this loss and keep me happy. i always loked up to my mom in how strong of a person she was. i didnt think she would be able to handle being a single parent, and to please her 3 kids all on her own. but i soon realized everything will be okay. Though it was sad for me seeing all my friends with both parents around, i knew my mom was always going to be there for me just as strong as 2 parents would. my life had to move on, and i knew thats what my dad would want for me and the family.

Now that 8 years have gona by, i have grown older and stronger as a person. My mom has opened my eyes that i should never giveup in life, no matter what the situation is, there is always a way to over come it. i know my dad is looking down on me with a smile on his face watching me grow up, seeing how great the family is doing. Even though he is not physically with me anymore, i know his spirit will always guide me in the right direction. He would be more then proud of me to know, im officially applying to the college, him and i onced talked about. UCF means everything to me, i have tried and will continue to try to be better than the best, to accomplish my goal, like my mom has showed me in raising the best family ever.
