One of the most important personal values of obtaining my degree is allowing my children see me work hard for a better life, and a better salary. Growing up, I remember my mother struggle to take care of my sister and myself; Doing her best to make ends meet. My hope is my children will learn through me that a higher education will allow for a better life; making them the third and fourth college graduates in my family.
