Hello, I love this forum and all the wonderful people. I was wondering if I could get some editing done for these essay. Thank you so much. Like I would need help shortening it, and deleting stuff I don't need etc. Extra elite vocabulary will be kudos. Thank you so much!
My life has been quite a journey. I was born and raised in Iceland and I lived a common life for nine year, but in 4th grade I lost my parents due to a tragic auto accident. After the death of my parents, I was adopted by a great aunt and her husband in California at age ten, after which I've had to live a very different life. I was blessed to have a loving family and opportunities in America where I was able to accomplish in adapting to a new life while learning to face adversities that come in life.
Coming to California wasn't quite like coming to a land of gold. With a very different culture and life style then I've had back at home, I found myself struck with challenges. One of the biggest challenges may have been learning the English language where I had difficulties with communicating with my peers. I still remember to this day when I came home crying on the first day of school because I felt like I was in a land of aliens. Believing one day I will speak just like my friends, I started learning English by reading baby books and progressed from there.
However with every challenge, there were also accomplishments that I achieved. With biggest of all, I've adapted to a new life where I have loving family and friends. With support of their help, I was able to achieve great things in my life that led to who I am today. I achieved my English proficiency in my freshman year after much perseverance to become like an American. I felt so relieved that after all the troubles of being made fun of, I was able to achieve one of my dream goals. I've also learned to appreciate diversity from living in a new family where I learned that what America is about. People from different countries come to pursue their dreams with the wonderful opportunities the country provides. I've succeed making a better life for myself, and accomplished with all the academic and athletic achievements I've made during my time here.
I was able to learn to face challenges, and motivated to accomplish my goals. Now with the opportunity that is given to me by excelling at school, I'm even more motivated to become a great doctor in the future with foundation of great education I will get. This will surely build the foundation of my future, but as a man as well. I'm very proud with the accomplishments I made, and it relates to the person I am because I'm a true believer and motivated to do the best I can to achieve my goals. I learned to endure through many difficult challenges, but in the end, I can satisfy my accomplishments with help of loving friends and family that will guide me on the way.
