Describe the world you come from - for example, your family, community or school - and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.
After third grade, my parents sent me to California to live with my grandma and uncle. I haven't seen them since I was four, so they were like strangers to me. At first, I didn't know why I had to move to California. Moreover, I barely know any of my family members there. It was like leaving everything I have accomplished behind, never looking back at them ever again. I had to adopt to my new environment and start my life all over again. I was really frightened when I found out that I was moving. I was going to lose all of my great friends and the home that I had so much memories of. Worst of all, I never knew what it was going to be like in California. Leaving your parents behind and going to another state to live with someone who you don't know might be intimidating, but you will quickly learn how to adjust to new lifestyles and accomplish new challenges along the way.
Later on, I found out the reason I was sent to california was because I had to take care of my grandma. She was getting too weak and fragile, due to her old age. Not only I had to take care of her, I also had to take care of myself. While living with them, it was my soul responsibility to help around the house as much as I can. The role that I had in the house have given me various challenges along the way, and I have learned countless valuable lesson while going through those challenges. At the beginning, I was always sad and always sitting alone by myself. It took me a long time to get used to everything. When times are hard, I would tell myself that this is how life is and that I would only get stronger after this.
Making new friends is the hardest challenge for me, being the shy person I am. At recess, I would walk sadly around the playground, while watching other kids having the best times of their life. I always assume that everyone have their own group of friends and that no one would need me to be their friend. In fact, I never knew how wrong I was, until someone came up to me and asked if I wanted to play. After that day, I became more social in school, and I made more friends than I realized. This became my most wonderful moment of my life, the feeling of knowing you have a friend there for you and that you are never alone again.
While living with my grandma, I would go with her when she sees her physicians. Watching the physicians doing their job have shaped my dreams and aspirations.
