Undergraduate / I owe everything to my family - it has greatly influenced who I am today. UCF essay [2]
Alright guys i just really need some feedback.... PLEASE!!!!!
"How has your family history, culture or environment influenced who you are?"
My family has greatly influenced who I am today. Growing up, my parents always stressed to my twin brother and I the importance of education and having high goals. So from a young age I always strived to get good grades and to be a good role model for my friends and peers. Growing up with a twin I learned about the beauty of companionship. Not to say that I don't work well by myself, but I am very good at working in teams, sharing ideas, and compromising to get a common goal accomplished.
Through my parents I was taught responsibility and hard work. My mother was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis around the time I was in 4th grade. Because of this autoimmune disease she has some days when she can't move her wrists or even stand, thus keeping her from work. My Father works very hard to support us and to pay for her medicine and hospital bills but we usually only make ends meat, leaving her most of the time without her prescriptions. He works in California because the pay is higher even though he would rather be with his family. My father has been a great role model in teaching me about the importance of family and sacrifice.
It is up to my brother and I to take care of my mom. We help around the house by doing laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc. My mom is a trooper, she never complains even though she is in constant pain. She taught me to always try my hardest and to never let anyone or anything hold you back from your dreams. My parents truly are selfless. Everything they do is for my brother and I.
I owe everything to my family. If it weren't for them I would have nothing. My parents and my brother have taught me so much about life and they have shaped me to the person I am today. I know that they are proud in me in all that I do and with their love and support I can accomplish great things.
