About
I am a high school graduated teenager, and I have a three-steps goal for my college life. The fisrt one is the base of the other two and is for me the hardest one; this one consists in get a schoolarship to pay my career by my own, I want to complete it because as the only Mexican American member of my family I am the only one who gets this class of opportunities, as you know my parents live in Mexico and they work there so they get low paiments for their jobs than the American people, without talking about the type of change. My goal represents the dream to create a new legacy to the next generation of my family, to say thank you to my parents, and to go ahead by my own.
The second step of my goal a college diploma in the economics career, this represents the entrance card to the third step of my goal, in my opinion this step will by hard because I am a student who lived most of my life in Mexico and I don´t really know who does the college system works here.
The third step is get accepted in a law school, is my dream goal be a lawyer who works for the goverment and who form part of the legal system. At this time you know that I am a fervid student who want to complete my goals, no matter how many difficulties I will show.
