In this paper I will discuss how she inspired me and in a moment I pulled myself together that I should fulfill my lifelong dream, make her prod and there is nothing that should stop me. I strongly believe that failure is not an option for me in life and I want to carry this message to my child as she grows. I am at a point in life where I look at my life and my future with a very serious and subjective point of view. I was lucky to marry my best friend, the love of my life and the most amazing man and we share a beautiful daughter. Being a mother has been truly a wakeup call and a sincere motivation to continue my education.
My Decision to get a College Degree Getting a college degree is one of the smartest decisions I could have made. Going back to school for me means determination and stay focused so that I will be successful. There are things I have and will continue to change in my life, in order to continue and to do my best in my college courses. Everyone should go to college. Going to college will help you find a good career to make a better life for your family.
A College education means that my daughter will have a good example to follow. A college education also means that I can finally make my dreams come true and have a better quality of life. As I desire to return to the workforce and one day have my own business a degree will be necessary for me to succeed. (Nelson Mandela quote) Upon graduating from high school in 2000 it has been an ongoing struggle to get a job that fits my career path. Obtaining a college degree is important to me because it would enable me have many opportunities to provide a secure future for my family.
When I thought long and hard about my life I knew I wanted to go to college and not take a year off. I knew that if I did so, I wasn’t going back. I knew I wanted to help people. Social work was always my number one job. I knew I could help people, and have a great future for myself and my family.
Why College Education is Important to Me For most individuals, a college education is merely the next step in the road to a successful career. For myself, the importance of a college education is more of a personal goal. Eight years ago, one of the last conversations I had with my mother prior to her passing away was her wish for me to attain my Bachelors Degree; a goal I had made for myself back when I was just entering High School but never attained as planned. I was one of those numbers who contributed to the statistics of having to drop out of college early on due to pregnancy. As a single parent, I had to put my educational goals on the back burner to raising my family.
Neither will they have their own goals or ambitious because everything in their lives was made up and decided by their parents. Nevertheless, parents should be there to help when their children make wrong decisions. Parents should definitely let their children become who they choose to be and not who the parents envisioned them to be. I feel parents should let their teens make their own decisions at the age of 16 and they should support their teenagers to make their own decisions for their future. To begin, I think all teens must make their own mistakes in order to ever learn a lesson.
This is half of who my child will be. P2 I agree with Joan Ryan’s statement “It is the acknowledgement that parents are the ones choosing, and then guiding their children through the outside environment“. The parental figure has so much influence on the path that their child will take through life. For example I was hell bent on not going to college for a year after I graduated from high school I just wanted to get a job and have fun. My Mom made a completely different decision for me, and guided me to college.
Even though getting to where I am now has been hard and stressful, it will and is worth it. I’m very grateful for everything that I have and for the life that God has given me. My parents have always worked hard for us to be in the place we are now. But the past 2 years have been the hardest, my dad hasn’t been working and we’ve been struggling financially. Being a daughter to immigrants has been a challenge to overcome, because our main obstacle has always been money.
Adopted teenagers benefit from the vast support of family, friends, and other people involved in their lives. Being a part of a loving home enables the adopted children to be involved in positive, structured youth activities. Studies have indicated that adoption has helped many children to become stronger in their personal identity and self-esteem. Not only the infertile parents but also the parents who want more children but do not want to add to the overpopulation of the country, they become adoptive parents. Adopting a child is an experience that promises to bring great joy as it changes a couple or individual’s life forever.
It is my belief that education is always a positive experience for anyone’s role in life, personal and professional. This educational experience will affect my personal role in a way that will be positive for both my family and I. I am extremely fortunate to have the family that I have. My spouse understands the goals that I have set for myself in the nursing field. He is committed to doing what is necessary to help assure that my goals are met. I also have two wonderful sons, (ages fifteen and twenty) that understands the importance of my career and what it means to me.
