My Life

I am son of Graciela Gomez and Fernando Enriquez. I am the only men and the second child of two siblings. Basically, we are a family of four. My parents both of them work for a company, I do not see them when they go to work because they leave early, but I still can see when they get home. They work so hard to give us as much as they can. I hope one day I can make them feel proud of me and the all goals that I have accomplished. I know family is one that is always there pushing me to continue studying hard. Members in my family are my real friends, they are always there supporting me in any

Without my family I wouldn't be the person I am today. Ever since I can remember my family has been there for me. Especially my older sister Kyla. She as been there for the ups and downs in my life. There is no other person that understands me, knows me better than my sister. Without her I don't feel complete, I like i am missing

I value my family so much. They don’t always do what I want them to do, but they always do what I need them to do. I would like to introduce you to some of the most favorite people in my life. First, my mom (Helen) and my dad (Terry). My parents are just so perfect and they have created a wonderful young lady. I wish I was the only child, but, I’m not. I have two siblings, both of my sisters are older than me and married with children. I have a sister on my

To begin with, I am thankful for my family. The first reason I am thankful for my family is that they are all hard workers. All my family memebers work really hard to keep everything up and running smooth. Another reason why I am thankful for my family is that they are very dependable. It is a great feeling to know that you have so many people that are by your side at all times. All of my family members are very caring people and I am very lucky to have that. For example, when you into the room everyone asks how you are doing and how your day has been so far. I am very lucky to have such dependable, caring, and hardworking people in my life.

I recall the very day I decided to join the military. As I sat in keyboard class, the teacher turn on the television. The news was on with a live broadcast of the Twin towers located in New York. Smoke was coming from one of the towers. Seeing this major event happen caused everyone in my class to talk. Some of my classmates started screaming and crying when the plane hit the other tower. School was released early because of the amount of students who had relatives that worked in the twin towers. Seeing all of my classmates and the other kids at my school crying caused something inside me to want to make a difference and fight for my country. Without doing any research of my own about the different branches of the military, I chose to join the Army. On the way home, I went to the nearest recruiting office and that became the beginning of my military career.

Having the ability to provide for my family this day in age as a Bachelor prepared Nurse is of the upmost significance in my life. I obtained my Associates Degree as a Registered Nurse from Springfield Technical Community College in 2005. I started college straight out of high school knowing I would be entering a career that had endless opportunity for growth. I remember the second I knew I wanted to become a nurse. It was because of Brenda, the kind nurse who held my hand while wheeling me towards the operating room as I was told at the age of 15, while having my first daughter, that I would need a C-Section.

My parents and my sister have been my rock throughout the years. No matter what I have taken on, no matter how impossible it may have seemed, my family has supported me. My parents are hard-working, caring people who have raised me to be a considerate, diligent, and selfless person. I owe all of my success to their dedication and love for me

I have wanted to be a nurse or a teacher for as long as I can recall. However, when I was in high school I felt as if I had a calling to serve in the military. At that time, I was very naïve and did not understand how the military worked, but I knew I wanted to serve. Then, September 11, 2001 happened and I knew what I had to do. That is when I made the decision to become a nurse and serve in the United States Navy.

There has been a lot of important and influential moments in my life that have shaped me into the person that I am, but only one takes the cake. The one most influential moment of my life was finding what I am truly passionate about. The fact that I knew what I wanted to do so early in my life was amazing because from there I knew that everything could then fall right into place. I was in Sophomore year when I realized that I had a knack for computers. I loved everything about computers from the hardware to the software end of things. I had to do a paper in Consumer Chemistry about something on the topic of computers and it was so intriguing that I began to do more research on the topic. I have tallied countless hours trying to understand how

My family, they play this huge role in my life they are literally in my life everyday and even though I don't see all of them everyday they all pop into my head and I remember what they have taught me. I am the youngest out of my three siblings and so being the youngest you get picked on alot and you get into fights, those fights and arguments have taught me a lot and at that moment I would never see it as a lesson, but overall it has taught me how to stick up for myself because not everyone is going to be nice and they taught me that I have a voice and it’s okay to be different. My mom and dad they have disciplined me to show me that I can’t do whatever I want. It’s just my parents and I in our small little apartment because my sister went to college and my oldest brother moved out to live on his own and my other brother went into the army. Even if I can’t see all of them everyday like I do my parents, they are still a part of me and my parents, they have focused on me and we have gotten closer especially after what has happened.

Family, the people in life who will always be there no matter what the situation is. My family of six are the most important people in my life, they are the backbone that keeps me together and pushing forward. Without them as my backbone, I wouldn’t be the young man I am today, things would be a mess, there will be no guidance, or an individual to show me right from wrong. As a child listening to the mistakes my parents have made in their past. Both of them deciding to not continue to further their education and pursue their dreams. My father a construction worker who began in the trade at the age of fourteen, is a very hard worker who gives up everything to provide for us. He became a foreman at seventeen years old. My mother the most important woman in my life gave up her dream of being a nurse to raise me at a young age. She did not accomplish her dream until merely five years ago. Coming from a family with no previous college history it’s tough not being financially stable as families with a college background. My family has impacted my life greatly. They have instilled in my brain that I must go to school and achieve the goals I set for myself. I thank them for guiding me into the right path to be successful. I also have three siblings, two brothers and one

I join the military soon after high school. I didn't really have a clue of what I wanted to do at that time. I knew I had to do something because my high school sweetheart had just got pregnant. I was scared out my mind because now I'm sitting here thinking how am I gonna support a child when I cant event support myself. So I made up in my mind that I would join the military. I start talking to all the recruiters that came by the high school. I got all the information I could get from all the branches. I choose the Navy because it kinda appeal to me as having the better job. I also was thinking about the traveling I'll be doing to different countries. That really got me excited. I left headed to to boot camp in August. My heart felt real heavy because I was leaving my

My family means everything and more to me. They are my support, backbone, and give me the motivation to put forth my best efforts in everything I do. When I decided to start a new path after my Marine Corps career, going to school was one of many options I had. With the encouragement and support of my family I made the choice to go back to college eventually pursuing my dreams of attending TCU. When I made that choice I made a commitment to them to be the best student possible. My first year in college was an experience that was different than anything I was used to but I stayed true to my commitment earning academic honors, and scholarships. Every decision I make I do so with my family in mind.

My family is very important to me as I am important to them. They love me, care for me, and do so many things for me that I enjoy and end up giving me a better life growing up my parents did have all of the things I have and they give me these things because they want me to have the life that they wanted growing up. They put me in great education so that I can later in my life find a job and be very successful. They also provide me with the hobbies that they introduced to me that I now love and do just about every day. They also encourage me to be the best at anything I want to be and drive me to school or sports practices. My parents also do my dishes and laundry to make sure I am provided with everyday essentials. My parents work late hours in the night to give me all the things that I have. Even though they have to do all the important things in their life they have always made time for me. They cheer me up when I am down and teach me life lessons on what to do and what not to do so I can can be a much better person. They go out of their way to spend as much time with me like they did when I was a baby so I can develope to be the fun and social person that I am today. Finally they cheer for me at my soccer and basketball games which always shows me they care and makes me want to try my best because I know my parents are encouraging me. These are all the very important reason why I am thankful for my

I have wanted to go into the military since i was very young. Most children say that they want to be a firefighter or a doctor, but i said that i wanted to be in the military. I remeber looking at pictures and learning about military officers and i felt called to be one of those men. My decision and dreams never changed, as most childrens do when they realize the work required. But for reasons beyond my comprehension, my desire of a miltary life never wavered. Both of my parents' fathers served in the military, one n the Air Force and one in the Army. They told me stories of their days in the military, bragging of their different branhes and I took what they said and choose a school that woud lead to a career in neither of their branches.
