Importance Of Events In My Life

Events in my life have impacted my being in every way; the way I study, the way I think and act, the way I treat myself and others, the way I work, and the way I see life. Through almost losing the person who gave birth to me and through gaining knowledge as a human being, I can now be sure that I will be successful at the university as a student, in order to help myself become better in order to help others.
Growing up as an only child, I felt like I was alone all the time; I was in a room full of people feeling lonely. As a kid I wouldn’t see my parents much because I was in school in the morning and they were working both morning and afternoon. As a kid I didn’t appreciate the fact that they worked those 18 hours for me, to spoil me to give …show more content…
I would take care of my mom like she would take care of me if I were sick. I cooked for her, did her laundry, cleaned every second (because she’s a clean freak), and I even showered her. I had to learn to clean the bathroom, I had to learn how to cook without burning the food, I had to learn to be a good driver, and especially learn to be patient. I had to stay strong for her and tell her I would be fine every time I left her hospital room. It was hard going home to nothing but a kitchen and empty rooms. Up to this point as a 17-year-old, I learned that what my parents do for me is very challenging. I learned to appreciate from every little object I owned to the people I have in my life. I learned to become more responsible and organized. Other important skills that I know I gained through this situation was learning to adapt and learning to develop myself as well. I had all the skills before I went through this situation I just never knew how to develop them. I learned a lot about myself as well, I learned that I am able to adapt quick. I know that if I was able to go through this, I could definitely go through any situation because almost losing my mom and brother has definitely been the hardest challenge for me.

I have goals and dreams, to become a doctor, to have my own practice, and give back to my parents because I know that until today they have given everything they had in their hands. I gained knowledge and skills that I know will help me as a university student and future doctor. I dream to open a foundation towards kids with cancer or disabilities, I dream to be part of an important health research, I learned to live every day by day and to dream big because anything is possible with dedication and hard work, just because I was once put down or just because I didn’t have the best childhood doesn’t mean I’m going to give up or it doesn’t mean that I will always be defined by my struggles, no it means I am strong enough to overcome any situation mentally and physically to keep moving forward. Growing up alone helped be an independent young lady that I am today. Even when I was always alone my parents raised me to be responsible. My dad’s dream is to see me graduate from college, being the first of thirty cousins on both sides of my family. The best way I can pay my dad
