In not wanting to have my father’s life, my goal is to attain an education level and professional career that will be higher than that which my father reached. Which will leave a higher mark for my daughter to surpass, and I am working hard to be able to achieve this. My father’s struggles fuel my drive, as I know wanted me to do better in academics, career, and life in general.

Ensuring a great future for my family and setting a higher goal for my daughter, which she will one day proudly
