When they want something they are very determined to go after it and succeed. Cowboy actor and singer Roy Rogers lives up to the roles he plays on the screen by saying, “Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.” I feel the same way when it comes to my religion, my high school career, and my college career.…

    I was born in Germany with a German mother and an American father. The benefit of being born into a German family and living in Europe for the first ten years of my life was the greatest privilege I experienced throughout my sixteen years of living. However, my father was in the military at the time causing for a slight pressure to always be prevalent for the duration of my younger years. This mainly revolved around the fact that my sister was able to grow up in Germany and I wanted that same opportunity. Soon after these aspirations were formed, they became mere dreams that never would be fulfilled because my dad was given orders to either move to Mississippi or Oklahoma, which both deemed to be the middle-of-nowhere.…
