I Remember
I remember thinking I wouldn’t do anything in life
Some people echoed the same thoughts about me but it is amazing what I have come to in my life
A college student at USC and a future engineer
I had no model growing up that pushed me from Las Vegas coming from poverty and a broken home
Is this really even me?
Is this a dream?
Being here on this wonderful campus looking at the city of dreams cardinal and gold surrounding me my mind trying to accumulate my body trying to accelerate; come celebrate with me that I did something in life
Along the way, many things have tried to stop me from doing something in life
And have failed
In my essay, “I Remember,” I wrote on line one that I remember telling myself that I wouldn’t do anything …show more content…
You were there.” This line from the book reminds me of the famous saying if you ever make it in life remember where you came from. Moreover, thinking about where I came from a broken home and poverty, to where I am now a University of Southern California engineering student and to where I want to be in the future. Even if I want to forget my broken home and how it was living in poverty that will always be a part of me and who I am. Sometimes I think back to what my life was like when I was younger and it is a tough place to go back to in my mind. But having gone through this in life I believe that it makes me the strong minded and kind individual that I am today. Also, I believe that one day when I have kids of my own it will help me teach them how to be nice to others no matter what. Thinking about the future I will one day have an organization to help young kids that are going through the same things I went through as a child. Moreover, I want to motivate young children to do the career or job they are longing to do, I also want to be a role model for kids who don’t have one. As a role model, I will tell these children that no matter what life throws at them that they can continue on with life and also that they can achieve whatever they put their mind and heart
