My mom and my dad together have taught me the basic skills to being successful in the real world. My biggest dream is becoming the best and most successful engineer known to humans. This dream will only come after I reach my dreams of perfectibility, perseverance and determination that my parents developed in me. It only takes a little spark within your mind to develop a dream, but it takes a lifetime to reach one.
The world I came from was full of happiness, determination and perseverance. I was born and raised in Morelia, Michoacán México by a family of 4 but one of my parents lived in the United States; my mom, my dad, my elder brother and me. My mom's occupation was being teacher of elementary school and my dad was disabled due to working hard as he grew up to sustain his family of 9 brothers and sisters. We moved to the United States when I turned 12 to the city of Cathedral City, California because we wanted to be close to my dad in case he required help. We left many memories and friends back in Mexico but my mom said that if we tried hard in school, every door would be open to my brother and me.
My mom was a perfect student; she read, studied and reviewed on her on 24/7. She was a straight A student from pre-school to college. Having graduated from college she started teaching subjects such as Spanish, Mathematics and Science. She always taught my brother and me about always reaching for perfection and not conformity. For example if we got a B we should be reaching for an A and until that wasn't accomplished then our job was not over yet. Perfectibility and perseverance was taught by her and she shaped my dream of being the best and never conforming to anything until it was the best I could do.
My dad just being 6 years old lost his dad in a fire and his mom while she was having twin brothers. He and his 9 siblings had to work hard in the fields to collect crops to sell so the "family" could eat something. Many of the times he and the males of the family went hungry to feed the rest. When he was 13 he came to the United States to find a job so he could send money to his brothers and sisters. He developed diabetes and that caused him to have renal problems. His life inspired my dream of being determined no matter how hard and painful the situation is.
I have always thought of the many things my parents have done to raise me. They have taught me many different morals. They taught me that only through hard work will my dreams happen and when those dreams come true another set of dreams will pop up and again I will be trying to reach them once again. Dreams are just like wishes; the only difference is that dreams require a person to do things to accomplish them instead of waiting for something to happen as a wish does.
