“Hope is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier”. That’s what my mother says and believes in all the time. When my brother born with kidney failure in 1991, he was so small that no hospital accepted his case in Africa because they did not want to take that risk.

In conclusion, in our lives many mistakes are made because of wrong choices. It’s difficult to live an unblemished life; guilt will always grow strong from our regret. I realize how childish I was when I was a teenager. I came a long way and I’m proud of myself for getting myself together finding a good stable of job, going to college, and getting good grades. My ultimate goal is to finish college and make my parents happy and for them to worry
