Having clear-cut goals in life is the first step to success‚ because “Where there is a will‚ there is a way”. I have always been very passionate about flying air- crafts

While I am sure that my dad regrets refusing my grandfather’s proposition‚ it shows the sense of autonomy that fostered my childhood. I was not raised like the typical American child. My parents raised me to question existing

I do not have very ambitious aims in my life. I do not wish to become a mill-owner or a multi-millionaire. The some object of my life is to lead a life of simplicity and goodness devoted to the service of humanity. The life of a professional leader or a politician would not suit me as most of such persons have become parasites on the society. I was born of middle-class parents.

My Life as a Superhero I just want originality‚ I want to be different from the people around me. The conventional life – go to school‚ go to college‚ be a nurse like the other cousins‚ get married‚ be a good Catholic wife with three children and be completely conformative – never once appealed to me.

believe I have many. I really only have one crucible in my life and the situation is still on-going.. Understand that many african american children deal with this type of crucible but not many actually grow up and look back at it. I plan confronting the situation itself and exposing how difficult it was to deal with‚ and how much struggle I have been enduring for almost 17 years. When I was born my mom and dad were together but not married. My dad named me after him because he wanted me to be better
