Personal Narrative: My Determination

Above all else, my determination is the quality value the most about myself. In my freshman and sophomore years of highschool, I was barely passing with "D" grades. I was in cyber school at the time and battling mental health issues. Once I recognized the problem, I enrolled in public high school and made up 16 credits within my last two years. This meant I had to drop a lunch period in order to take an additional class. My grades immediately raised to A's as I pushed my way into a future that would not have been possible without that change. After a semester at Moravian College, I have earned a 4.0. I am on the path of a Mathematics and Economics double major. My determination to complete my degree has helped me thrive through college and

I am certain my grades will continue in this positive trend.

As I come from an impoverished family, the biggest struggle I have come to face is the fact that my parents are unable to assist me in any way regarding my college expenses. I have a disabled mother and a step-father who works a manual labor job, so the entirety of their limited income barely supports them. My ultimate dream is to become an Actuary and support my family so we can become stable.
