She gather all kinds of things knowing that she can buy a lot with $100, when she reached the cash register and pull out a $10, I was so embarrassed. I vowed never to let that happen again. All my life my parents wanted the best for us, but it was hard for them to do things such as buying a house or a car. My parents didn't understand what was needed to be done in order to achieve what they wanted. This event was very important to me in understanding how powerful the English language is. .
I believed that people view you through how well you understand and how well you use the English language. People were unable to help my parents understand what they wanted. It was hard for my parents to convey their message to others in order to help them and pursue what they wanted. Life without the English language for my parents has been very difficult. I am very glad that I have the opportunity to better myself of by going to college. I have taken on the initiative to learn and be able to help my parents in the future. I have received a great education in my past and I look forward to learning more to benefit myself.
The significance to me from these events is that I have seen with my own eyes the need to pursue a higher education and expand my knowledge. I value education highly as it is my way of progressing through life and achieving what I want to achieve. What I want to achieve is to be able to help my family and my people in future situations. I feel that I am currently half way to what I want to accomplish. I am currently attending California State University, Fresno pursing in business. I feel that by completing college I will be closer to achieving my goals.
My high school years have developed me to be the person that I am today. High School was a pleasant experience for me. I have learned a lot and expanded my knowledge tremendously but there is still room for improvements.
