Describe the world you come from; for example, your family, clubs, school, community, city, or town. How has that world shaped your dreams and aspirations?(*) (200-250 words)
Growing up, church has been the apple of my eye, my home of cultural traditions adapted to American life and Christianity, and my favorite house full of friends that I could feel comfortable around and share my thoughts about life with. It is where the family outside my family is, and is full of people whose desire to proactively help out the community is a lever that raises my own goals and standards for myself. Being part of church means being dedicated to a group, even when there are no teachers to make sure I carry through with responsibilities, and no grades coming in to determine pass or fail, and only my character is on the line. The relationships I have at church are a blessing that has taught me to care about and respect others.
My dreams are shaped by this lesson I learned from church to keep persevering toward positive goals despite the fact that, as I grow older, there will be fewer people to make sure I stay on track, assume responsibilities, and just work hard. This is why I follow my dream to be an electrical engineer even though the major is difficult and the competition will be tough. The rewards will reflect my perseverance. While I dream to pursue career goals that are my own, I desire to be successful so that I can also repay my family and church with my own time and resources, all the while still growing in the Christian faith.
