I don't have a first paragraph, and this is the first draft.
Describe the environment you come from - for example, your family, community, or school - and how this environment has affected or influenced your plans for the future.
Growing up in a single parent home has given me a certain perspective. I was taught at an early age that I have to work hard to achieve my goals. My mother worked hard to make sure my brother and I were always taken care of. As an educator she knows the importance of a proper education, and instills these principles in me. Having a strong support system in my life has given me the courage to vigorously pursue my goals. having a large family has taught me that making and sustaining connections is an important step in creating a future.The connections that I will build in college will last me for the rest of my life.
My school environment has been another significant factor in helping me move forward. Attending a public school has given me an opportunity to meet a diverse group of people, which has given me the skills need to survive the transition into college. As a child I thought that having a close group of friends was the best thing to do. When I got into high school I met other people who had different views, and it gave me a chance to evaluate my personal views. I was fortunate enough to have a good high school experience, and figure out exactly what I want to do in life. High school gave me the tools needed to enhance my thought process. I am positive that I will continue to sharpen those tools in college.
College is just the next step needed to secure my future. I feel confident that Michigan State University is the right institution to do so.
All suggestions are appreciated.
