Autumn of 1985, the year my mother came to America in order to escape poverty. At only sixteen years old she left everything behind in Guatemala to make a better life for herself. She spent over a decade as an illegal alien, cleaning houses just to get by. Because of her residency status she never had the opportunity to go school and get a higher education. When I was born she made sure I would have the opportunities she did not. Her story inspired me to do well in school and work hard so I could become successful. Similarly to her, I want to make a better life for myself; I do not want a mediocre job that barely pays my bills. I am so hungry for success but I know in order to be successful I need to go to school and get a higher education. In order to do this however, a lot of money is required. Money neither my parents nor I have. That is why this program is so important to me. It covers most, if not all, expenses and takes personal interests in every one of their students.

I have always been “the smart one.” In high school, everyone came to me for answers. They thought I knew everything; I thought I knew everything. It wasn’t until I started college that I realized that high school was just a back and forth between memorizing and forgetting. I started college and it struck me that I could dive head first into what I wanted to know. I could spend time really learning what I wanted to learn. I’m not saying I didn’t learn anything in high school because I did. I just didn’t value knowledge as much as I do now. I’ve been in college for a semester now and in that semester, I realized that I don’t just want to learn. I thirst for new facts,

Reading is a trip to the fantasy worlds, which, in reality, trains us as good writers. Anything that compels an individual to read more exposes him or her to a variety of key elements that is useful for writing. Reading something of interest not only brings pleasure, but it usually allows the reader to learn something from what he or she has read. A good writer reads with an eye for the writing, whether that is directly or indirectly, but most of what we grasp from the texts are what we use in our writing. Perhaps it is not as coherent as planned, however, it takes practice, and the more we practice using what we have read and apply it to our writing, the better we get at it. I realized that I did not have to read the most challenging pieces in order to be able to write, but the more I exposed myself to knowledge consisted within a novel, the more likely I could reproduce that knowledge and skill set in my writing.

When I run I feel numb, not numb as in without feelings, not numb as in freezing. I feel numb with the joy of sweat, aching joints, unhealthy air, and blazing 100 degree weather. The grand moment when I can hear the cheering crowd at the finish line just a couple meters away. Before cross country, my definition of dedication was finishing a complete television series on Netflix. My new meaning of dedication is now the endurance, commitment, and persistence I experience through running. I consider running my greatest talent, not only because of my times or records, but what it has taught me. Attaining fifth place in my junior varsity race at the league championships, improving my 3 mile time by 4 minutes, and becoming the fifth runner at my school were all important milestones for me. Sophomore year was my first year of running on a team.

Reading have always been one of my favourite things to do in my free time. After I learnt to read in kindergarden, I fell inlove with books. They’re something more than just a hobby. With them I discovered a whole new world – world full of magic, love, friendships and betrails. And everytime I open a new book there are new characters and new beautiful stories.

The smell of death and sadness lingered over my shoulders lie a monster whispering all my deepest fears in my ears. Tan and navy blue coated the bland walls, the same blank wall my empty eyes stared at while my mother spoke to a doctor. The doctor’s voice was sickening to my core and her words burned like a Californian wildfire. Hearing that my pitiful life would be held captive with other sad souls made my veins go cold and heart go bloodless yet still beating so hard that my body might shatter.
