"You can achieve your goal if you persistently pursue it,"One Page Autobiography

I have to write Maximum one page autobiography about myself. I would really appreciate any suggestion to improve my mini essay. Thanks a lot,

"You can achieve your goal if you persistently pursue it, " said, a 68-year-old South Korean woman who passed written driver's license exam on her 950th try. I strongly believe that determination and commitment is essential components of any success, but that is not all of the ingredients. One cannot simply accomplish his/her dream with an empty commitment. A commitment should have a value for the person, and it requires an action. I personally consider my success as a result of dedication and persistent; establishing positive attitude toward my goal and finally getting my hands on action. I never let failures to stop me, but I see a failure as a component of a success, and I consider every failed try an attempt that gets me closer to my goal.

It was August 2007 when I left Afghanistan to study in the United States. My friends were not sure I would be able to pass my GED test, instead, they advised me to get a job in oil field and make quick money. Their advices bothered, but did not stop me from chasing my dream. The next month, I went and signed up in Bakersfield Adult School. Within couple of months, I was able to pass my GED test and made my way to college. Within a year and half, I gradated from Bakersfield College with an honor degree in Associate in Arts. Now, I am here starting my second quarter at CSUB hoping to graduate with a bachelor by the end of 2010 and by 2012 with my Master in Economics.

During this short journey, I have come a cross of a lot obstacle and financial hurdles, but I never lost my hope. Instead, I struggled, modified my life and looked for alternatives. For instance, when the gas price went up, I moved closer to college so I did not have to drive anymore. When I lost my job, I applied for financial aid and student loan, and instead of buying new books; I tried to utilize library resources, until I get a good deal on used books on Ebay or Amazon. Yes persistent and dedication is a key to success, and today I am proud to say that I am an example of a successful person. I am determined to make my long holding dream a reality no matter what. I thank you in advance for considering my application, and I promise you that your contribution will make a big difference for me and my community.

Maybe "working until I get my hands on the prize" or something along those lines. .

Alright, so some things:
1. Whether it be dreams or dream, make sure they are all the same. I wasn't sure if you had dreams or just a dream, so make sure that they all say "dreams" or "dream".

2. You should definitely write about what your dream actually is. They want to hear about your life.
3. These people want to hear all about you, so try adding in examples from your life in Afghanistan and show how you still persevere after all these years. Not to mention, this is an autobiographical piece, and you can't just talk about only a portion of your life.
