Who knew growing up would be so stressful. No one gave me advice on how to get through the rough times, I had to learn on my own. But nothing has or ever will stop me from achieving my goals. Most of my family didn't finish school, or got the chance to start college, but if I Lizette Mendoza finish high school and college, I would be the third person in the family to do so. I want to be that third person to make my parents proud. My career goal is to become a doctor/nurse. More specifically labor and delivery. Family and friends question me about my career, they tell me if I'm sure about it and ready for it. My response to them is always- "of course I am, if I wasn't why would I chose it" just the thought of working with pregnant …show more content…

Currently right now I am in HOSA and DECA. I've done community service for HOSAS breast cancer awareness at granger's football game against West high. Joining these clubs and doing volunteer work is a good way to start off my college application looking good. I love to hike, to explore new things Mother Nature has out for us. I also love to play soccer, I played it for two years in middle school. After that I stopped playing. I wanted to join grangers soccer team my sophomore year, but since it had been awhile since I played I was nervous to tryout so I backed out. One of my biggest challenges this year is taking medical assisting. It's a lot of work than I expected, I've thought about quitting a couple times. But I know that if I do I will never get to where I want to be. My mother keeps me motivated, she tells me I can do it when ever I doubt myself. By the end of the year I will take a state test to receive my medical certificate, if I do not pass I will have to retake the class in college until I get my certificate. If it ever comes to this I will continue to overcome my challenges, until I am where I am suppose to

    It has always been clear to me that education comes at a cost. The cost of going to school in the United States was not a price I had to pay, but my parents. Optimistic and eager, my parents immigrated to the United States in their late 20’s determined to lead a better life than the one they had back home; they craved the American Dream. As I have grown older, I have come to understand that the American Dream was not for them, but for me.

  • The Chi Omega Spirit - Overcoming Obstacles and Achieving Success

    1384 Words  | 3 Pages

    For as long as I can remember I have set high goals for myself regarding my future, my friendships, and my education. Entering college with these standards I knew that I wouldn’t settle for less than my best, and I would strive to amaze myself at my success. One thing I never fit into my planned path of achievement was any type of struggle, or obstacle that could alter the way I have thought for so long. The first month of college I fell upon an obstacle I never could have imagined. I suffered a knee injury and missed continuous classes following the accident as well as surgery that was necessary to my recovery. These things tested my strength as a person, but also as a student. It made everything a little more complicated, even the little things like getting out of bed in the morning. I pushed myself to see the end of the tunnel I felt seemed impossible to crawl out of. Many things helped me along the way, and just as I hadn’t imagined my accident, I couldn’t have imagined the support I found everywhere around me. I know that I can overcome obstacles in the future now because of my determination for success and the use of helpful resources all around me.
