My Family Believes in Education

I come from a Mexican family, sometimes seen as traditional closed-minded people, but I would consider my family open-minded. My family thinks that in order for someone to be somebody in life we need to get an education. My parents acknowledge education and see it as a priority since they noticed in their country how education was something elite people would get due to resources. For them, at a very young age they started to work in order to maintain their siblings and their families. Even though school was in mind for them, duty was not a choice. They had to do this whether they liked it or not. My father was coursing middle school in Mexico when my grandfather passed away giving him no other choice but to leave school and search for a job to maintain the family. On the other hand, my mother was not able to finish grade school and started to work at an earlier age, compared to my father. Both told me everything they had gone through, of how hard it is to keep up when a beloved has passed away. I on the other hand, have this opportunity of an education, one that in will not let go that easily. I know that in life I might encounter problems in which I will learn to rise above them. It is possible for me to achieve the things my parents were not able to do when they were young due to the opportunities the United States offers. both of my parents are living , but even though my mother is not living with me in the United States , , I manage to keep on with life thanks to the help and support of my father.

For me, the turning point of my life was when I was living in Mexico, due to my grandmother’s death. I was new to the country; my parents enrolled me in middle school. I did not have any choice where to study in Mexico or go back...

...r they start arguing for thing that have no relevancy or they just forget that it ever happened. This is why I kept my problems to myself. I would prefer to keep them as secretes and try to solve them in a decent manner to overcome the obstacle.

This has helped me understand people that surrounds me specially those who encounter problems every so often. I try to help them by talking with them and telling them of what could happen if they do not analyze the situation first. I try to do the best I can in order to help them overcome their obstacles.

With the help of my parents and others, I am most confident that I will accomplish all obstacles that might come in my way. I just hope for all of my dreams to come true one day and for my parents to be proud of me. I will be forever thankful for all the things my parents went through in order to see me succeed in life.
