I am Who I am
My household is currently solely led by my mother; a strong, wise, generous, principled, and humble woman who influenced me to become the man I am today and for that I could not be more thankful. I realized that she wanted to be both a mother and father figure for me. She focused on more than just my grades in school and went to an extreme to show me that the immature teenage life I was living would never allow me to achieve my future goals. She showed me that I should always put my best foot forward despite all the problems and obstacles I faced. As I matured I slowly began making better decisions, stepping toward the right path and ultimately making the decision to change my life for the better. I joined a 3 year confirmation course in order to confirm my faith in Catholicism, graduated and now volunteer every Sunday helping every mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. During high school I decided to enlist in the high school track, cross country, and soccer team playing all four years and proudly becoming the captain of the varsity squad on top of playing with a travel club team that I've been with for over seven years. I wanted to challenge my self even further and joined ASB to become a technical representative becoming extremely involved with school. However, academically I felt I the need increase my knowledge and enrolled myself in additional honors classes and AP courses every year pushing my self to the limit. I also began to take initiative and work with my father, applying myself in every situation possible. He’s a successful dentist, owning his own clinic, practicing orthodontics and general dentistry for over 30 years. I immediately adapted to the environment and was intrigued by the hardworking setting, the flawless work performed on patients, and the happiness portrayed in all the smiles surrounding me. I instantly knew this was the right career for me. Therefore I began to speak to my father and other successful dentist about attending

    The novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini follows the life of the afghan man, Amir, and his struggles with his past life in Kabul. In the beginning of the book, Amir, although smart and kind at heart, is mentally taken over by his want of acceptance by his father, and in turn, takes it out on his best friend and more than loyal servant Hassan. On multiple occasions Amir is found making life for Hassan hard, whether it be through deception or through selfishness.
