Undergraduate / UC prompt #1 - trouble figuring out the topic about the world I came from [7]
k heres the latest draft
thanks for your comments !
I come from a supportive world. With any decisions I make, my parents give me guidance and have faith in me no matter what. They have always shown their love and pushed me to do my best. The advice I have received from them about everything will stick with me forever.
As a child, my parents were sheltering and tried their best to keep me away from all the horrible things in the world. Growing up, my family struggled with money. I can not think of a time when my dad has not worked at least two jobs. My parents chose not to let me know the hardships we were experiencing but rather kept me in high spirits. By doing this I was not exposed to adult problems as a child. They were always careful what they said around me. By no means do I feel deprived because my family did not have money when I was little. My parents still were loving, caring, and always there for me, just like they still are.
What my parents have taught me- faith, guidance, and support - will not be held back by any external force. I have learned values which shape my dreams and will help me to stick to them. For example, I now know that happiness does not come from money. I am looking forward to one day having my own family and understand that love and care can never be purchased. A family needs support to stick together. My dreams and aspirations have never been compromised because of my values.
As I begin my journey into my career, these great values are sure to keep me on the right track. My belief in myself to fulfill my aspirations will definitely add to my determination. The guidance from my faith will keep me on the correct path. With support from my family and friends, any doubts I come across can be turned around. With all the love around me and my heart set to accomplish my dreams, I will succeed.
