DON'T HOLD BACK! I'd love to hear your great, positive criticism!
Describe the world you come from- for example, your family, community, or school- and tell us how your world has shaped my dreams and aspirations.
****My intros are usually my weak spot.
My world is my family. My family? They're a group of fun-loving motivators with high expectations for me. It's understandable that the phrase "dream big" may seem a little clichĂŠ in this case, but that's exactly what I was raised to do. Dream big.
From growing up with two hard working parents, to seeing my sister achieve her goal of attending law school, there's no doubt that I feel a little pressure reach equal success. The feeling of all eyes on me. The nonstop, overflow of questions, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" "Are you ready for life after high school?" "What's your intended major?" At times, those moments are an overwhelming haze, but through it all, the characteristics of my family are what help me see my ambitions clearly, which is to research and find a cure for Alzheimer's disease.
I'm the youngest child to two diligent parents. My mother works full time as a nurse and for the past twenty-two years, my father has worked nights at a warehouse in order to spend time with my sister and I during the day. I was brought up with the fact that having faith and standing up on my own two feet will get an individual far in life. Support and guidance from my parents are definitely important, but that doesn't call for complete dependency. I was taught to tackle adversities and chase my aspirations, to stand firm for what I believe in, and that I can't please everyone. Then there's my sister. She doesn't have to say word to me. Watching her go after her goal is what pushes me forward to what I dream of becoming. The positivity I see coming from my family gives me insight of how I want to go forth with my future. The qualities of my family are planted in me and I've grown into a determined go-getter. I'm driven to cure this disease so that seniors can grow old with grace and dignity. I want to demolish the worry families' hold about this illness. It's not that I can't slack in life, I don't want to slack.
With the strong foundation my parents built and the inspiring achievement of my sister, I have what it takes to thrive in life after high school. I have no doubts that my families' encouragement and high standards will keep me rooted in my studies as I continue on to a university. Though there may be bumps along the road ahead, nothing will stop me. After all, I was raised to do one thing. Dream big.
