Undergraduate / "I want to succeed for all those women" - my personal statement... [7]
Prompt #2
Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are?
Many of my accomplishments have come from me wanting to succeed in life. I live in the planet earth, in an environment where we are able to think and speak for ourselves but at times I think I live in a different planet where woman are not successful, and they have not had a woman revolution. As a child I have been told that woman are here to serve to their spouse, to keep the house clean and take care of children. Certainly I never understood why woman had to do that I would ask myself "why?" As the older I got, I understood why I was told that, my grandma is an ]older woman, who does not yet understand the meaning of equal rights, she does not think that men and woman are capable of doing the same things, that we are created equally and that men do not deserve to be preferred over woman. Obviously, I have learned something deeply from my grandma that I want to be successful for many reasons, I want to succeed for all those woman who are told they cant what they want to do. For the woman who's dreams are crushed and are not able to get back up because someone does not allow them to do it. And for one woman who has helped me get through this journey, for my mother, so we both can have great futures. Being successful can have different meanings to many people, to me it means to overcome goals that I am afraid of, something that I can pursue a challenge. Well, my greatest goal of all is going to college. In my eyes, college is an opportunity were I have expanded my ideas and goals, a place where I have applied my theories and I have received knowledge from being able to think on my own.
