human being on earth has their own unique set of roles, and statuses. There are two kinds, ascribed, and achieved. An ascribed role, is a role that a person is born into, examples include the role of a grand son, or a Canadian.

of all time. Like a set of floor plans, my parents constantly guided me into becoming the most beautiful version of myself possible, expecting nothing but the best from me. Although my family has encountered numerous unanticipated harsh realities of life in an imperfect world, my family, like a strong foundation, has been able to hold everything together despite the numerous forces trying to break us apart.

transformational leaders. I am very much a transformational leader I believe that this is somewhat measures my achievement motivation. In my achievements I tend to be competitive and strive to excel in everything I do. I like to set long-term goals as well as short-term goals. I hate gambling with whether or not I’m going to be successful, as a matter of fact I hate gambling period.

spring break, but for me and my family in April of 2010, this was not the case. It was a beautiful, sunny day in Puerto Rico where my family and I were taking a vacation that spring. As I lay on my dad’s colorful bed in the small pink villa on the water, I find it hard to enjoy the view that comes from the balcony and the salty smell of the light blue ocean.

some balancing of my time, budget, and keeping my stress level intact. No one ever said that the road was hard. You just have to know when to slow down take in the scenery, get off because you made a wrong turn, or just full throttle ahead because you’re sure of what lies ahead. I’ve always been the compassionate, helping, and eager to learn type of person. That’s why I always knew that the medical field would be the best fit.

Her grandmother tells her that her mother is a ghost but she comes back to take care of her grandmother when she is ill. Due to the absence of her mother during her childhood years, she tries to be there for Rose as much as possible but is pushed away.
