My Challenge In My Life

1225 Words5 Pages

Every challenge in my life was a lesson learned or something that made me stronger I would never change anything. This is because these challenges and hardships shaped me into the person I am today and the person I strive to be. I wouldn’t change my life because I am happy, healthy, and lucky to be where I am. I am currently completing the prerequisite courses, applying for nurse aide programs, preparing to take the GRE, and searching for an internship that will help me gain practical experience within a medical field. I am doing all of this, so I can apply and get accepted into a Physician’s Assistant school and becoming a Pediatric Physician’s Assistant. I would like to explain to you how these hardships got me to where I am today. Money, this is something that can cause pain and happiness. It’s an everyday necessity but it consumes our lives. Growing up my parents struggled with money, filing for bankruptcy, overdue payments on everything, struggling to get groceries, etc. We truly struggled, we lived with my grandparents more than once, there were multiple times my dad was unemployed. Money left to me for college was used to pay for various bills. Which of course in return this led to constant fighting over money. Then this fighting over money among other things eventually lead to my parents splitting up about a year ago. To make it simple, they hate each other, and aren’t together, but aren’t divorced and live in the same house because they can’t afford to do anything
