    When I was first given this assignment, I had trouble deciding who to write the paper on. For years, I’ve fought a mental battle, trying to prevent people from influencing me— I want to have my own opinions and beliefs. But I realized that the influence didn’t need to concern views or interests. It could be about how somebody had influenced my behaviors, my coping mechanisms, my view of myself. I knew who to write my paper on.…

    Life with Education As I sit and reflect on “First Job” by Iliana Roman and how her life could possibly compare to mine, the term “apples and oranges” come to mind. Even while I admire Iliana Roman’s “never give up” attitude and the fact she proved that a woman does not need a man to be successful in life, I don’t believe I’m going to find a multitude of points to hit upon. While the author’s first job of many lasted a period of years, my one and only job lasted a little over a year. It started at the beginning of my senior year and lasted through graduation.…

    As a person who is going to be a first generation college student, my journey towards obtaining a higher education has been challenging to say the least. Neither my father or mother finished high school, but when I was very young, my mother, who struggled with alcoholism, left my father and I, and he has raised me by himself ever since. Over the course of my childhood, my father did everything in his power to make ends meet through working long hours and multiple jobs so that I could have the opportunities that he never had. Because of this, at an early age I learned to do without certain things and when I was old enough, I got a job of my own to help provide for myself and my father. As a result of these things, sometimes it was difficult to do well in school and other activities, but I always found a way to succeed through diligence and time management skills.…

Although my parents have always supported me in anything I’ve ever done, they never really pushed me to focus on my future. They probably don’t even know what FAFSA is.…

    So I’ve had multiple experiences and events that have influenced me as a person, and has even reached into my academic career. The event I would like to do into detail is one that happened almost a year and a half ago now; I was out on the streets living a life of sin, not accepting Christ not accepting authority, or anything that I couldn’t profit from. My life was spiraling out of control more quickly than I could believe it was. I was working a full time job and a part time job, I was hanging on the streets and more worried about making money any way possible than being home. Suddenly I left my part time job without letting them know or giving any consideration, even though I had worked there for almost 3 years.…
