Please describe the factors and challenges that have most shaped your personal life and aspirations. How have these factors helped you to grow?

I was never very interested in my grandmother’s stories about her childhood. The stories were long and the only thing that they taught me were how to smile and nod so the elderly woman in front of me did not feel bad. Her voice was the only reason that I came to her house anymore. The melodic tone that danced around the room filling it with happiness and golden mellifluous sound that once adorned these gray white trimmed walls, but the woman sitting in front of me was not the one in that pictures that adorned these walls. No, the woman sitting in front of me was a wrinkled and defeated version of the great woman that is featured in thee pictures. She sat there just staring at me with her glazed over eyes that showed her age. She opened her mouth and the sonorous words began to come out, but I payed no attention. All I cared about was that wonderful voice.

For my life scenario project I am a family phycologist with a four year old girl named, Valentina. I make 37,000 a year but, taking out 18% taxes i make 30,340 a year. I am a single mother but i live with a roommate that also has kids. My roommate, Madyson Gold, has two daughters, their names are Llily and Morgan. Lily is six years old and Morgan is 8 years old. Our plan is for Lily and Morgan to share a room and for my daughter, Valentina, to have her own room. My roommate and I plan to rent a house of four bedrooms and three bathrooms. We would like to have a one story house but would be okay with a two story house as well. We would like in Florida. My ideal car would be a Volkswagen beetle in light blue. I would also like the earliest model

My story begins on the night of January 3, 2009. I never knew something so profound and distinct could come out of a situation not every young adult gets presented with. Had it not been for this night, my destiny would have a different ending. The passion to succeed and make my story become a non-fictitious life event has been the sole source of my motivation to fulfilling my dream of becoming a nurse.

to return to Earth and live out the rest of a continued human life. He assured me that I was welcome to move on from my earthly life and enter heaven at that moment, but the option was at hand. I felt so loved and peaceful, longing to remain in the company of the Heavenly realm that I had come to know so far, but I had a decision put forth in front of me.

In my past I was constantly striving for achievements, whether it was school, music, or good deeds in general, I wanted to be the best and stand out. This was not because those things gave me a sense of personal satisfaction, but rather it was because I wanted to finally be good enough for my dad to be proud of me or for my mom to take an actual personal interest in who I was and not what I could provide for her. By the time I had moved across the country to go to college and to, frankly, begin writing a new chapter in my life, I could name this struggle and recognize situations that would perpetuate this struggle. But by then the cycle had been set in motion. I have just recently come to a point in my life where I am more likely to not be as ashamed or self-defeating if I do not succeed or sacrifice as much as I used to. However, with that said, there are still areas in my life that would benefit from change and growth. I would like to be able to feel fulfilled in life and not have that fulfillment come from feeling like I have to constantly please others. I would also like to be able to better deal with the pressures of life before I send myself spiraling into a whirlwind of bad thoughts or seasons of depression. I most definitely believe that these goals can be brought about by personal change and counseling.

There are many beliefs and values that determine how we live and who we are. We learn these throughout life from experiences and values that we know and acquire. These values can play a key part on how we view ourselves and the world around us. One of the many values that I have taken on is you are responsible for your own happiness. This can mean many things such as putting yourself before others sometimes, or only living once, or believing in yourself. This phrase can have many associations with it that will guide you through life.

My life in America started with a couple of unfortunate events that changed me profoundly. In the first six months in this country, I learned to be resilient, innovated and decisive. Thanks to those experiences I was prepared to achieve my American Dream. Before I moved to this country, I was a studious girl, that owned a small cloth shop in a town in the middle of the jungle. I could only dream of having a successful career. It was very unlikely that a girl from the Choco, the poorest and least developed state in Colombia, could graduate with honor from a school like Villanova. And even less likely that I could become the only Latina and the only black woman in the legal, engineering team of a 12 billion dollar company, that is considered one of the top companies for work-life balance. The US has given me all opportunities and all the tools to succeed.

When I was growing up, I remember my family situation as extremely chaotic. I was one of eight children and my father and mother had little time to devote to me individually. Most of the time they spent trying to earn enough to support us with their meager resources. I was often called upon to act as a surrogate mother to my siblings. I felt I had little time to develop my own unique perspective and voice when I was very young. Even as a preschooler I remember doing chores to help out at home. However, this situation did foster some positive aspects of my character. I learned to be mature at an early age and gained a sense of competence because of my responsibilities. But I also was taught put the needs of others second to my own. I feel that I did not learn to value my own, legitimate desires to an adequate degree as a young girl and have only recently acquired a true sense of worth [THESIS].

Every since I was a young girl I have been always asked by, what do you wanna be when you grow up? I know some people that change their minds every week of what their future hold for them and how they are gonna live through it. The future is changing every second of our lives, everything single thing that we do affects what our future hold for us. All my life I have been determined on one thing in my life. I have always wanted to become a doctor no matter what. I know that there is nothing that is gonna change my mind about that. Technology has helped many people with what they do at their job, however it has also harmed their jobs also.

The future is uncertain, but I know one aspect of my future that is crystal clear; my future will always consist of learning. I believe the quest for knowledge never ends because there is always something beyond the eye's visible horizon to discover. Therefore, I plan on constantly inquiring and investigating about the unknown because my desire for knowledge will never be completely satisfied. Beyond high school, beyond college, I will still be listening to lectures, completing assignments, performing experiments, and searching for answers because my hunt for information does not stop once I complete my formal schooling; my education will continue.

To begin to tell a little of my new future, I can say that I have always dreamed of being someone important in life. Someone who may be able to show the world his or her capacities with the help of God, wanting to be someone and define your future implies that I as a person can strive to achieve my goals and objectives in life. But for this may be possible I must have the desire to want to be someone else, as a result of this arose from my future to study English, I ever since I was in fourth grade I dreamed to become a teacher of English, I motivated to see Americans speaking the English language in a fluent manner, I remember that once some American people of Christian religion came to the school to give us a talk in English, I was very

The future is always on the mind. Where would I be in ten years? What do I see myself doing career-wise? What college do I want to go to? And finally, the question that has been haunting me for the past 2 years, what major do I choose that’ll determine the rest of my future? Throughout high school, several choices came across my mind. In the beginning of my high school years, I considered being a teacher, but that quickly changed because I realize that I don’t want to be in this hell hole that is a school for the rest of my life. The following years a couple of other careers popped up in my head, artist, filmmaker, writer, teacher again, and nursing. Finally, senior year came and I was chosen to take an amazing opportunity to work at a news station because for the past three years I had taken a Film and TV class.

I am going to be writing about my past, now and my future. About my life and why am I here and what am I doing right now. Everybody has a different story about their life like their difficulties of their life and happiness of their life. And also the personality are not same. So now I am going to talk about my life, first start with my personality.

In the corner of the room, an old lady was slouched on a cracked, olive upholstered chair. A man gripped her veiny hand and softly patted her back. She appeared to suffer from a vigorous cough, which originated deep in her chest. Delicate curls framed her fragile face as hair was neatly swept to one side. A double string of ivory pearls swooped around her neck, landing in the lull of her collarbone. Vintage black eyeglasses were diligently balancing on the bridge of her crinkly nose. The wrinkles that adorned her face were indicative of many years lived and with each cough, they furrowed. She wore a knitted rose cardigan over what appeared to be a light blue night gown. It was evident that she had been rushed to the hospital as she was still wearing her fucia puffy slippers.
