Everyone dreams of living the grand lifestyle and no one expects there dream to become a nightmare however, that is exactly what happen to me. As early as the age of eight years old, I became tired of the typical school everyday trap in the house lifestyle. Even though I didn’t know what I wanted to do as a child, I always knew deep down inside I was special in something. I had the privilege of watching my older brother who I look up to, become a superstar in high school playing soccer then you have my four sisters doing different types of sports track, basketball and etc. So there I was the youngest in my family asking my father can I please play sports! Unfortunately, my parents weren 't your typical wealthy parents, my parents was from Haiti and was very strict, hardworking with no education, luckily my dad 's best friend at the time who he had worked with was a head little league football coach who for some reason wanted to give me a chance & had potential in me. So there I was starting my first year in little league football & I quickly became a G.O.A.T which stands for the greatest of all time, I’m serious I developed so fast and quick in football that I was actually good and fell in love with it, I eventually had other parents coming to my father after the games telling him that “Your Son Got Next” & “Your Son Is Good” Not only did it feel great to me but it felt even better having my parents with high hopes for me and believing that I can be something in life at a
Opportunities and sheer luck have aided me in accomplishing what I have thus far. By random chance, I had the opportunity to grow up in an upper middle-class household. My parents follow “concerted cultivation,”
Just those things alone have made them into very inspirational people to some. In fact, they may be the greatest inspiration of all time, a true definition of child looking up to his parents. Right away, both of my parents had high expectations for me. At a young age college was instilled in me as the only possible route I could take; which was okay because as an adolescent I held great pride that both my parents went to college.
Each person has been taught to hope, to have a dream. I always shot for the stars; I wanted to be a princess, obviously that didn’t work out though. As every individual ages his or her aspirations become more realistic; I aspire to have a stable job and a loving family. Having dreams is an important part of everyone’s lives.
I was brought up in a very humble, family-oriented home. My parents never
They were shocked when I ask if I could go to college, but the answer that I expected was “that’s nice, but we don’t have that kind of money”. The words “grants”, “loans” or “scholarship” were not common words in my household or community. My GPA was average due to my focus on subjects that I loved and tolerated the ones I disliked. I loved my art classes, the art or ability to draw was common in our family. My father and oldest
They instilled in my brain that education is the key for success and happiness, which has always made me try my best in all of my educational pursuits. I do this not only to show appreciation for what my parents have done for me, but for my own sake as well. I am fully aware that there are countless people all over the world that would give anything just to be able to be apart of this country. This gives me the motivation to always push myself to achieve the highest education possible and to go above and beyond to make something out of my
MMM! As the sound of my dreamcatcher blew gracefully through the chinook. My grandfather gave it to me, he is the chief of all our tribe. Our appellation was the Comanches. We had a reputation for optimism.
My mother and father have always wanted the best for me, like all good parents do. One of the many things that they expect from me is to receive a college education, something that they never had the chance to do. My parents always advise me to not to make the same mistakes as they did, to go to college so I can get a good job and not have to struggle in my life. With no alternative, my father had to drop out of school to help his family financially after his parents had gotten a divorce, and then he had received his GED.
My parents didn't have the opportunities that we have. Both my parents had to quit school at a young age, they had to find a job and help my grandparents pay for bills. My mom wanted to have an education she wanted her diploma but she wasn't able to achieve that goal. To her and my father is important for us to get an education for us to finish high school and go to college because they want all their kids to have a better life and be able to support our children in the future. From day one when I started kindergarten my parents push me to do my best and I don't plan to let them down.
The only way to repay them for their sacrifices is to be successful in life. Many people are pressured to do well in school by their parents, teachers, and mentors. However, the burden is not as heavy if you come from a wealthy family. If you come from a lower class family and do not succeed in your education or career, then another generation of poverty begins and you have failed pay back your parents for their struggles of raising a child in the lower class.
I told my mom that I wanted to be out there one day and she would be my biggest fan and cheer me on to victory. She said “ Sure Connor, but you go a few more years to go.” My father was energized for me to play football since he thought I would be incredible at it. My dad saw a future of me go to college playing football and being the first one in my family going to college.
I Dreamed a Dream is a soliloquy piece, sung by Fantine during act one of Les Misérables (1980). Fantine has just been fired from her factory job after it is discovered that she has an illegitimate child and takes to selling herself on the streets to pay for medicine for her daughter. It is here that ‘I Dreamed a Dream,’ is sung as a way of progressing the story and providing a realisation by the character of her unfortunate situation in life with the song being composed as a way of expressing the feelings of Fantine as she wonders where her life went so wrong as to descend to her present predicament. Throughout the song an anguished, during and impoverished Fantine reminisces on happier days and descends back to the harsh reality that is her hopeless life. I Dreamed a Dream is set in common time (4/4) with a steady set tempo throughout the piece, de despite significant changes in dynamic, texture, modulation and emotion.
My Childhood was pretty different than how I live today. I’m a part of a middle class family with two little sisters. Since I am still in high school, I haven’t experienced that much to say that my social class has changed a lot; However, I have watched my father grow in the company he works for. He has worked his way through many barriers created by “elite” people that doubted his intelligence. He had opened a door to many different opportunities such as working for Google and Apple.
If every person have the courage to reach for their goals I think everybody is going to be successful no matter what situation they are even though they’re poor. To fulfill your goal you need to be focused on what’s your goal and don’t get distracted by what people tell if some person tell you to stop reaching for your dream they probably didn’t try hard to reach their dreams so they’re there to bring people down. I know that you’re gonna get distracted but you need to stick what your goal is. You can act like a five year old kid because if a five year old kid really wants something they are not going to stop until they get what they want no matter what problem you throw at them they will not stop. Kids don’t take obstacle personally they just look at them as a game, for example when parents say that it’s cold or raining outside they will figure out a way to go outside.
Growing up, my parents have always been really strict on me, more than they have been with my younger sisters. I never really understood why, until now two months after my fathers’ death. My fathers’ dream was always to see his three daughters graduate with a college degree. Both of my parents, especially my father always expressed to me the importance my education, for my future. He always told me to never depend on anyone, to work hard for myself and with a diploma I could achieve lots of success.
