Being the oldest of 4 siblings and having a hard working single mother life can get very difficult and living in a very urban neighborhood that can get loud sometimes . I go through so many disadvantages but I have never let that stop me from being the best and doing the best I can.
I attend a high school in Queens Village named Martin Van Buren and they offer great programs and club, I am the president of the key club, head of the humane society club and I am both head captain of my varsity girls tennis & soccer team. School is my main concern I work at American eagle and I have been under a lot of pressure lately but I have never let that ever stop what I really need to do to be successful. I aspire to be an accountant and minor in international …show more content…
Not thinking that I am going to drown in all of the things I was doing . I was working I had to baby sit, I had exams & ACT testing. I wasn’t thinking about that at first I was thinking about my future what I was destined to do. I was meant to be a business woman so I knew I had no choice but to take this class. The class was on Tuesdays and Fridays the class was longer than 2 months but I was willing to take on that much of a work load. The first Tuesday of the class I met the teacher and it was my college adviser in my school and this was the first time I had ever met him, he was very serious so immediately I sat down in the front and logged into a computer.

He explained to me when I get to college its my responsibility to understand and I need to motivate myself to understand and make effort because this class will help me be an economically smarter if I want to peruse being an accountant . The next day and then forth I continued to study the finance articles and understand the numbers and read stocks and study graphs and I felt like a professional working in the finance business as the class went by I learned so much and eventually we had to take a final and I was so scared and I thought I was going to so bad even though I studied , I still had that little depressing voice in my head that told me I couldn’t do it and I wasn’t going to receive those credits but I sat down and prayed that all these evil negative thoughts would go away. I took my test and I completely started to see everything clearly all my hard work payed off I am not dumb I do understand my class and I should stay positive because I can pass this test
