But when I saw how UCF had one of the most respected computer science courses and how they had such a big community of people interest in the same mayor as I, that fascinated me. I spent some of my time looking at engineering teams in UCF and saw how I could fit in all of them. Now as I have seen the campus in person this year, I have now decided that UCF must be the choice for me because I feel that I would make me happy and help me grow and succeed in

    We were comfortable financially. The car and even the garage followed new apartment, furnished with imported furniture, high class by Soviet standards. My work situation was also good- I had friends at work, and functioned as a secretary of our group union, but the bug of immigration was in my heart and in my brain. Actually, I need to mention one very important factor about myself- from the early age I hated Soviet government, I hated corruption, lies that were constantly fed to us, our useless communist bosses, and I dreamed of going to Israel. America was not on my agenda.…

    I now know ultimately helping my family in the long run means I need to do what makes me happy; and helping people that are less fortunate than I was is what motivates me to become better. When I started taking classes again to prepare for graduate school, I have already been graduated for a while and I knew the challenges that would come with competing with a younger, intellectual, driven crowd. It was definitely a challenge, but overall rewarding experience, because I met professors who not only stimulated my mind to think out of the box, but have taught me to believe in myself, and that hard work does pay off. Anytime my family runs into a situation I felt like I had to pick up all the pieces and fix it, but this past year my mom has been my backbone. She has encouraged and supported me to stop focusing on everything and everyone else and to pursue my goals and dreams.…

    “Did you try your absolute best? Then that is all that matters because that is all you or anyone else can ask of you.” During times of doubt my parents would constantly remind me of this. Throughout the past four years of my college career my father was my inspiration. Not only for his words of wisdom but because as I watched him battle and eventually lose his life to Lou Gehrig’s Disease, he somehow remained positive and continued to encourage me to try my best every day even though he was the one facing the terminal obstacle.…

    My Path to Literacy For a very long time writing and reading was a huge struggle for me. I was one of those students who was very intelligent, but disliked reading tremendously and was often told, “You write the way you talk”. The older I grew the more I realized that my struggles with writing was due to my lack of reading. I was aware of my issues but because it became a part of my writing habits it was hard to adapt to anything different. I wanted to be like everyone else and be a good authentic and productive writer but it seemed almost impossible.…

    As a child, having rules to follow wasn’t unheard of with my family. There was always a way to behavior with friends/family, at school, at home and out in the street.
