Struggles Are Real.
Life is like long walk on the road. You encounter several obstacles on the way, but you have neglect those obstacles and just carry on forward. These struggles in our lives play an important role in transforming our lives, especially from stupidity to maturity. One such example would be my interviewee with Mukesh Shah, 58, a self-made man, who has overcome many struggles in his early adulthood. As a child, he was the troublemaker amongst all of his siblings. But as the time passed, his family undergo into a crisis economically and emotionally. As an adult, he went through some harsh conditions for his family, because he realized the importance of love and support that his family …show more content…
In 1970, becoming a lawyer was one of the most respectful jobs and my uncle’s dream was to become one. Due to his hard work and dedication in his high school days, he was accepted by best law school in Baroda, India. But as misfortune called, his father, “who worked really hard to raise us, and had promised to fulfill all of our dreams” (Mukesh Shah), had to face a difficult health condition, as a result his dad was forced to take bed rest for his remaining life.

When he decided to take on the responsibilities, his first most goal was to settle his brother and sisters home, then to become a successful lawyer. But as time passed, he was busy with work and family matters that he had to finally give up his dream to become a lawyer. However, he was not disappointed, instead it made him more determined to help his brother and sisters settle down successfully.
