Going To College Research Paper

Going to college is not going to be easy. You have to be successful in life. Don’t expect things to just come to you. Life hasn’t been easy for me. I work really hard to get where I want to be. Not just me, but my parents too. My dad works endlessly so there can be food on the table. Since I was a little girl money was always a problem. I am not an only child, I have three other brothers and one sister. So this why I want to go to college.
Growing up in a house of seven, has always been a challenge, you realize that success is a priority. Being the first child led me to hard experiences. My parents had to start from scratch to give me a good life. When my parents had me, they had no home. We use to live with my aunt, she

would take care of me. While my mom went to school and my dad went to work. Once my dad made enough money he rented an apartment. When I turned ten months I would get seizures. My mother was afraid to leave me alone. She said , I was too young to be getting seizures it wasn’t normal because I was just a baby. I was always at the doctors.
As soon as I turn two years old the seizure attack went away. The doctors told my mother they are not sure if they would come back. A couple years later, I was five years old. I remember this day like it was yesterday. It was a night, coming from my godfather house. My dad was driving but he was drunk. He was going down the hill and lost control. He crashed into a tree, if it wasn’t for the tree we would have ended up in the river. It all happened so fast, all I know was my head got stuck in the back window. My brother flew out of the window. My sister was in a baby seat.
My mother was trying to take my little sister out of the seat. Then she looked for my brother. She found him and as she got to me she didn’t know what to do. I was stuck! The firefighters had to cut the car in half. They noticed the glass was getting deep into my neck. My mother panicked, she broke the glass with her hands. Then they took me to the hospital. The doctors saw my clothes full of blood. They ripped my clothes to try to figure where the blood was coming from. I remember being put inside a machine and seeing my sister with wires in her body. The doctors told my mother if the glass would of got deeper I would have been dead. It was a miracle I am still alive.
My dad got arrested for driving drunk. However his boss bailed him out. After that accident my whole life changed. My relationship with my father changed. Every time he would drink he would take it out on me. There were times where he kicked me out of the house. I would go to my aunt’s house. Two years, ago my father and I got into a argument. We didn’t even talk for a year. For that year I didn’t depend on my father. He went on vacation with my siblings and I was left behind. It affected me but I didn’t show it.
Everything I have been through helped me become stronger. I realized that if I am still alive it is to become important in life. I want to be a successful, I want to have a future, a better life. I don’t want to always depend on my mother. Since I was young I worked really hard to get good grades. I already knew what I wanted to be. My dream is to go to college and get my degree. I know college is hard but I know in will be able to accomplish my dream, by putting all my effort and never giving up,no matter how hard it gets.
