Financial decisions are something everyone faces like buying a car to figuring out how to pay for students loans or debts. We are not taught about these types of financial decisions and how to go about them from a young age. In the news article Working Financial Literacy in With the Three R’s by Tara Siegel Bernard, she talks about how more states are beginning to require a personal finance instructions class. In the article Finance Course Prompts Debate by Gina Davis, she suggests incorporating financial elements into already required classes.

Throughout my life, I have had experiences that have shaped the way I am today. Growing up my mom and dad were my biggest inspirations, and they still are now. I remember coming home from school to work on big projects, and they would suggest ideas instead of directly helping me with the project. It seemed so insignificant at the time; however, now I realize that they have helped me to think on my own. They have also taught me to put my best effort forth the first time I participate in something. I believe that I am more careful, thoughtful, and hardworking when I work on different projects because of this. Over the years, my parents have instilled strength and independence into my life, and have supported me through all the ups and downs. My parents are the ones to thank for the way I am today, a strong, independent, hardworking, and thoughtful young lady. Sports have also shaped my character, especially soccer. Soccer has been my thing ever since I was little. This year I finished my senior season and realized that all the years of joy had come to an end. With all the sadness that came from this, I was also brought to happiness because soccer had influenced my life in so many ways. Soccer involved communicating with my teammates. If I was not forced to talk out on the field, then I might be a more introverted person. Being more vocal, has led me to come out of my shell and talk with those around me in everyday conversation. Soccer involved loosing. No one likes to loose,

Omar Alamri Dr. Fuller HIST 217 Feb 7, 2017 Love and Hate in Jamestown: John Smith, Pocahontas, and the Heart of a New Nation In Love and Hate in Jamestown: John Smith, Pocahontas, and the Heart of a New Nation, David A. Price presented a more complicated and complex version of the legendary story of the founding of Virginia. His narrative focused on class and the development of capitalism and brought together several important characters, most notably Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas, and John Smith. In doing so, he challenged the traditional view of the events in the early Jamestown colony. It is evident that the three characters Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas, and John Smith played a significant role in the development of America because their association

Similarly, my Mother advised a great deal in my choice to continue with my education. Back in 1988, when I was seven years old, my mother graduated college with a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education. Watching her work tirelessly while trying to raise me, work full time and attempting full-time credit hours, instilled in me the desire and drive to achieve my goals. She has been my role model as a non-traditional student. She helped me achieve a workable school/work/life balance. She has been my constant cheerleader since my decision to return to college and pursue an undergraduate degree.

My parents grew up in families with little parental direction. Attending school, overcoming adversity, getting a job and becoming successful were up to their own making. Although my parents did not go to college, they took advantage of other opportunities to better their lives so that my siblings and I would be able to attend universities. They worked hard to get jobs even without college degrees, and then worked harder to maintain those jobs; subsequently, this furthered their positions in their workplaces. By setting an example of making the most of what life has to offer, they influenced me to seize every opportunity that crosses my path. Going to college was not an opportunity my parents could take advantage of, but it is one that I can.

Being raised just by my Mom for a while had a major effect on the person I came to be today. When you think about a Mom, you tend to think loving and caring. With my mom raising me, she taught me just that. Growing up she taught me the values of being respectable to my elders, how to have proper manners, how to treat a girl correctly, etc… Most people would think that because of this, their son may come out to be “girly”. Since a father figure is not present. Although, I knew growing up that I had to act as the “man” of the house. So when my

My Mother is a very smart woman, and she always is pushing me to do my best. She provides such a wonderful life for me, if it weren’t for her influences, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I know that I will succeed in my life, she taught me that. I know that I am smart, and am capable of doing all the same things and more as anyone else. The confidence I gained from my mother and at ADTP had such a positive impact on my life, it’s hard not to see that with confidence there is next to nothing you can’t accomplish in this

I realized I alone was responsible for how I lived my life and I alone can change it. I began expressing myself more, getting involved in my community, and seizing leadership opportunities.

But through my mother's example I could see the fun and useful side of college. Her actions and many stories, lead me to be excited and anxious about attending college. Whenever I would become overwhelmed and anxious about college and filling out the many forms, she would always be there to help out or lend a listening ear. I often find myself seeking out her advice or view on different matters concerning college, because of her time spent there.

Growing up in a family where the average education level is middle school can change the way that you are perceived in the world. My mother is the only person to get an Executive MBA. This has influenced me to go to school and get my degree to change the statistics put upon my family. Growing up my mother has always put the pressure on me to push myself harder and be my better self. When I first came to America I did not speak a lick of English, I would remember my mom sanding over me with a ruler and would hit me every time I said a word wrong or if I were to misspell a word. This has instilled in me to never give up and keep on trying until everything was correct with no mistakes. By the second semester of kindergarten I was already the best

Watching my mother live from pay check to pay check when I was young was difficult. It was always hard for my mom to keep up with other parents but, she still somehow managed to get me everything I wanted, and more. Even though I was too young to understand, I could feel the stress, and the struggles my mom faced every day. She was only 20 years old when I was born and, because of that she had no choice but to grow up fast. At such a young age, I saw the effects of being a single parent, and the ways it changed my mom. She not only had to be a young mother but, she had to find a way to replace the void of a father, or a father figure in my life. My mom was strong, independent and courageous. Growing up watching her live her dreams under all the circumstances she faced, made me want to strive for a better life for myself. Seeing how hard is was to live and to have enough

My mother always believed that education is the utmost priority in life and without education you are nothing. Growing up, I was a curious child and I will always ask why to everything around me. She taught me to become a leader but, also learn from my mistakes and failures. One thing that marked me as child was being homeless and living in shelters for a period

My father has taught me to be a man, to be honest, to hunt, to work hard, and to treat others the way I want to be treated. My mother has been there for me in more ways than I could ever list. Some that standout are teaching me to be loving and caring, to know the Lord, to know right from wrong, to go after what I want in life, to clean, to balance a checkbook, and to be the best I can be at whatever I do. I had a couple of teachers in high school which helped me through some tough times in my learning. I struggled in school because I have a reading deficiency and I’m not a very good reader still to this day. One of those teachers was Ms. Carolyn who was possibly the greatest Algebra teacher in existence! I say that with the utmost sincerity. She made math learnable and fun. Another was Ms. Shawna who helped me pass the state English II test so that I could graduate high school. I had taken the test 4 times previously and not been able to pass it and I was a senior and only had one more time to take it. Lots of teachers had tried to help those of us who couldn’t pass it but had not had much luck with me. Ms. Shawna took the time out of her already busy schedule and tutored me one on one for several weeks and on the fifth try I finally passed it. I will always be grateful to her for showing me the material in a different way so I could understand it. I guess you could say she taught me patience. There have been others through my 20 years on earth thus far who have made lasting impressions on me which I know have made me a better person for having known them. I still have a lot to learn and know that I will make more mistakes along the way, because life is a learning experience, but I will use them as building blocks to better myself in the long

She has advised me for all of my schooling years. She has taught me about a good work ethic and focus. She does not accept anything but the best and this pushes me to try my hardest. The best thing my mom does for me is read over my papers, and makes sure they are the best work I can do. When she does this she tells me the mistakes I have made, but does not tell me where they are. I have to find them myself and by this I learn how find my mistakes on my own. These are many skills my mom has taught me throughout my schooling years. My mom also makes me feel comfortable with my status at school. She realized that I was new to KO, and that the workload would be much bigger compared to last year. She always tells me to take one thing at a time rather than looking at all my work. This has definitely helped me throughout this year because I have been able to focus on one thing at a time and do it great, and then look at another assignment and to it just as good as the last. If my mom would have not given me this advice I would had rushed through all of my assignment, and not taken the time to understand them. Thanks to all of my moms mentoring I have been able to succeed in school, and enjoy doing it

Imagine growing up being told to believe your education is worth nothing. Imagine not being able to attend school after the 6th grade. That was the exact situation my mother faced when she was younger. Ana Gonzalez, my mom and also my best friend, has set many great examples for me despite her imperfect history. Even in the tough times, my mother is always there when I need her. I guess I never took the time to realize her value towards me and my family. My mom is a creative person that likes to think outside the box. Not only that, she is also educated and supportive.
