My family members who encouraged me to persevere through all adversity and friends who allowed me to grow stronger into a maturing adult. Yet, I’m still aspiring to leave my everlasting mark upon this world, whether it bebe it a small contribution to someone’s life or a significant discovery to the world’s population. It is my dream. My goal. My resolve. However, this resolution of mine, this decision I’m determined to accomplish, I can only attribute its success to the people of my present and the actions of my future.

    One year ago, on January seventh I learned not to take even some of the worst situations for granted. Sitting in the white minivan, I anxiously waited for my mom who stood on the porch pacing back and forth, while listening to my hungry, screaming little sisters. She received a phone call while we were walking out the door of the oral mouth surgeon, after getting a quote for the total price of the pulling of my sisters wisdom teeth would be.

It’s funny how you would think summer is the time of relaxation and hanging out with friends everyday.

One day, I wasn’t doing anything in all of the weeks I’ve been so busy, so it was a bit odd when my mom kept on nagging me to get dressed and ready for the day.…
