in a single-parent household. While most people view this as a disadvantage‚ I saw it as a motivating reason to strive to achieve success. According to statistics‚ I should be underprivileged‚ unmotivated‚ and deemed to be unsuccessful due to a lack of resources and guidance that two-parent households universally provide. To the contrary‚ because of my nurturing and positive upbringing I have overcome many challenges and achieved tremendous success thus far. In many ways it was my single parent upbringing
