The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
Each and everyone have their own strengths and weaknesses and each one of us deals with the situations as we can. In my case there have been many things in my path but I tend to just push them aside and keep walking with my head held high. My life from the start was always every interesting times were tough, as a Hispanic family there was never much money in the household. Both my parents are of Hispanic heritage, they came from families that worked in fields and in cloth factories just to make ends meet. Not much has changed since then, till this day my parents need to work from 8 am to 6pm just to make ends meet and sometimes that’s not even enough.
My future goals are to go to a college
and create a successful future for myself, like it was said before it might be tough getting there for the fact I came from a not so wealthy family. College is such a beautiful experiences without attending a university there’s a very slim chance that they will find a well-paying job. For that fact I really would love to attend college, I have my mind set to make something of my life, both my parents are non-high school graduates. This means two things I will have the highest education in my family and be the first one to attend a university with in my family. It’s such a great honor to know that I will be the first to have a high school diploma and in the future to have a college degree.

I have done everything that I could while I was in high school to prepare me for my future at a university. I have done everything from taking advance placement classes to attending after school extracurricular which include skills USA and as a business editor in yearbook, I have hopes for myself and for my future goals and I won’t let where I come from keep me from doing what I need to attend a university, I really hope you see the potential that I know I have within myself I will shoot for the stars and won’t accept anything less.
