I am currently struggling my way through life, working full time to pay current bills and trying to put myself through college. When i was about four years old my mother died and since my father was not involved in my life i was orphaned then adopted by a guardian. Throughout my life i have had to overcome this obstacle. I still can remember my birth mother and how she used to sing me to sleep every night before her passing and carry this through my life everyday and think about her and what she would want me to do with my life if she where alive today. I want to go to college with every fiber of my being and I strongly believe that with her memory in hand i can achieve my goals and become a successful and vital person in the world. I struggled through High School when i was finding myself and discovering my past because of my mothers death but with my dreams falling further away with every failure i came across, my drive became so intense to make my passions become a reality in going to college and i managed to succeed at school and in my life. I really need help making my dreams become a reality so i can become a teacher and have a succesful life but without the proper fundings, i fear i will not be able to accomplish such goals and will be stuck working a minimum wage job the rest of my life.
