A few words of counsel
I frequently question myself-'Have I become the scriptwriter of my destiny?'. Many a time ,the answer to this question is never in the affirmative. I dreamt and still dream of a lucrative career (well, not at all a distant utopian dream). I couldn't crack the MBA examination -Common Admission Test. I always had a longing for excellence but no idea of where to go next and how? Nevertheless, I had a longing for glory. As I couldn't crack CAT, the undoing of my mind began. Generally, undoing of mind begins when a maze of stupendous defeats hit the smooth sailing career. Not cracking the Common Admission Test is an early setback. I sat deep in thought. But, life undoubtedly has amazing plans....wish the plans are indeed amazing! I had a long confabulation with my parents( my motivators). They had a chequered career. I often draw succor and inspiration from them. They are undoubtedly great teachers. They are the best achievers as they have no axe to grind. They have(and had) the chutzpah to deal with the ordeals. Well, their financial stature may be at the nadir, but their moral stature is above all and everything.
The valuable insights from the hour long motivational confabulation have indeed assisted me in evening out the bumps and fallacies. They threw some light on the careers of Abraham Lincoln, Mother Teresa, Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam and other visionaries. I ultimately assured myself that a failure is indeed a pre-victory gambit.
So friends, do work on the modalities for exalting the excellence. Do not get bogged down and dispatch with disdain the gadabout thoughts. Have the faith that you are destined to blossom into an iconic and inspirational figure, both nationally and internationally. Knowledge of one's ambition should enrich the cause and preserve the sanctity of mind and soul. Comport yourself with dignity in the profoundest sense of this sentence.
Always remember to extend the unsolicited and unconditional

    My parents have impacted my growth with education, they always push me out of my comfort zone and encourage me to try new things. Another way they have impacted my growth is taking me on trips and experiencing new cultures. My parents have given me the skills to have a great self confidence. There’s not one particular person that I can pick who I have learned from the most I have learned lots from my entire family. Every member in my family has taught and supported me in some way during my life. Some examples of what I have learned from them is that education is very important to be able to succeed and accomplish my goals. Another thing that they have taught me is how to work through challenges in life and to never give up on anything that I believe in. With great role models like this they help me keep a positive attitude and learn lots in…

    Fortunately, by the fifth grade my parents were able to rent an apartment nearby our school and had found jobs in multiple Brownsville restaurants. After the move, things became much easier and we were able to have a much simpler life, though we were never able to forget the hardships we experienced and the effort we put into enhancing our lives. Today, I am sure my successes as of now are gratifying my parents as I am in the top 10% of my class, the Co-Captain of the Golden Stars Dance Team, member of the National Honor Society, Piano Club, HOSA, and in TRIO UTRGV talent search program. I attend rigorous AP classes to improve my opportunity to attend a university and have the finest future I can give myself. Although my triumphs may not look like much to most, I can assertively say that the trial of going through difficulty to have a superior future has been overcome with the comfort of focus, strength, and the right set of mind to build a better tomorrow for my family and…

    Growing up, I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. My whole world evolved around sports, but I knew the chances of making money playing a sport were slim. My father owns a pipeline business, and my mom owns a boutique shop so I knew I would go into a business management plan. At ten years old, my father always took me to work with him on the weekends. That was one of the best things I got; young experience is what I needed. He taught me to operate heave machinery, mix concrete, work on pipelines; moreover, he taught me what it takes to be a self-mannered, respectful employee. Since then, I knew what to do with my life and I am very lucky to have such inspirational parents to motivate me for my goal in life. I look up to them in so many ways and appreciate all they have done for my siblings and I. Hopefully, I can provide for my family like my father has for ours.…

    The reason my family capital will keep me motivated and determined is because the way my mom and family pushed me in school to get my college degree. I have three younger siblings that keep me determined to doing my work and staying in school. My mother is a hard working mother. She would do anything for one of her kids as long as they are getting their education. My mother always took care of me since day one. She’s been my rock! I never had a male role model figure in my life to show me how its done or to show me how to grow into a mature young man. It was always my mother who stuck by my side and never gave up on me when I misbehaved. I always think to myself, how did she do it? Growing up as the second oldest it was me who took care of my younger siblings while my mother was at work and sister away in college. I always took on a lot of responsibility when it came to taking care of my siblings such as feeding them, dressing them and bathing them for school in the morning. My mom always instilled two things in my head as I was growing up, first was to be strong hearted and secondly independent so that I can become successful in life and accomplish each and every goal that I set for myself. Without family capital, I would not have the great support system to help me stay focused throughout my educational…

    As a kid family and I were always struggling to make ends meet. My mother was always working to help keep a roof over our heads. My father left when I was only three years old. But despite all that my mother still had a positive attitude in everything that she did. I remember waking up in the middle of the night to get something to drink from the kitchen and seeing her in the next room on the computer typing away. She was working on her class assignments for college. That was my first example of what determination looked like. I never knew how important that having a determined mind set would be until I failed my first semester of college and joined the US Army.…

    What Moves Me

    My mother has always told me “do your best, and forget the rest”. This is something that I have lived by since I was ten years old and I honestly am so thankful to have this motto in my life. My father’s favorite quote was “shoot for the moon, even if you miss you’ll land among the stars”. They told me this every day before I would go to dance, and it would always encourage me to do my very best, even if I wasn’t in the mood to be dancing that day. I cannot explain enough how much my parents move me, they are truly more than I ever expected out of anyone. I am so blessed to have a support system that ‘moves’ me in this way, because I am aware that not many people have this support system. I count my blessings every day, as I am extremely lucky. In the future, I hope to ‘move’ my parents in my own way, because they have done so much for me in my…

    My father and I share the same birth place, but totally different upbringings. His childhood was dominated by my grandfather's poverty which nearly inhibited his formal education. If it was not for his prioritized ambition, his fate would be similar to his four brothers: fastened to the lower middle class tier in a third world country. He educated himself up the social ladder across the Pacific and into America. His persistence is awe-inspiring, but more so is his retention. He literally taught me everything he knew, and that is what I idolize about him.…

    Is their ever been person in your life that had inspired you to do something or just astonishes you with their achievements? For me there is my teacher Mr. Scott is the most self motivated person I know. No matter what comes in his way, he conquers it, then moves on to the next challenge. Throughout the year Mr. Scott talked about his life, about how he once worked on the family farm for less than minimum wage, to how he had side programming jogs paying him more than one-hundred dollars an hour. He always preached if you work hard, no m…

    Young as I am, I have been taught by my God fearing parents to value everything – big or small – that we have. I am not from a prestigious clan or a well-off family but I feel privileged because I was able to see life more meaningful and worth living. It’s all because of my loved-ones that keeps me going. Amid the crucial days that come my way, I would be standing there because I believe that tests won’t be given to me if I cannot surpass them. Being chosen as a National Discipline Awardee is another challenge for me. Challenge because I have to prove everybody that I deserve that award. Nevertheless, they would probably look at me with their eyes stick on everything that I will do and on decisions that I will make. But, I don’t mind them. I have nothing to do. I just have to be myself. I don’t have to be somebody else just to please everybody. I am confident that what I have right now is the fruit of what my parents taught me ever since childhood. The virtues that they implanted in my heart helped me a lot in achieving my goals and dreams. And now, it’s my turn to give them something that they can be proud of. This award would definitely give them so much joy. And as for me, it’s indeed an honor. But I know, it doesn’t stop there, it is better if I could share something for our society especially for the youth.…
