Almost
19 years ago, I was born into a family where no one had a college education and
hard work pays all the bills. With no other brothers or sisters for my parents
to experiment with, they pushed me as hard as they could and hoped it would all
turn out okay in the end. I have a dream that teachers find to be a little far
out of reach. Every teacher to whom I have confessed my dream to have been
quick to tell me that vet school is harder to get in than even medical school,
so I should find a more reasonable goal to chase. Instead of altering my
ambitions I just added a backup plan. Now I am double majoring in Agricultural
Education and Pre-Vet with the intention of one day owning my own clinic and
ranch or being a teacher. I have grown up with the mindset of reaching heights my
parents could not. I have worked hard to make it where I am. By entering
college with 24 credit hours and scholarships that I earned through many hours
of studying and completing the tasks given to me by teachers and professors I
am making a path for myself. Hopefully,
one day I can give back to my parents and help them have the lives that they
deserve and to have a life of my own doing a job that I am happy to go to. In
my mind, there is no limit to the success that I can have and I know one day I
will do something great with myself. But first, I will put in the time, the
imagination, and the work required. Maybe
one day I will travel the world or do the things that everyone else sees as
bucket list worthy feat, but for right now I have more long-term goals.
