Over the summer I went to Las Vegas about a week for vacation, I had a lot of fun it gave me a chance to get to know my relatives better. It also gave me a chance to look ahead in life. I started to think about my future. Would I succeed in life or would I end up a failure? Where is my path that I'm on now taking me? .
Education was always a key ingredient to success, especially to my parents. I didn't realize the importance of an education until I met some of my cousin's relatives to not end up in the same situations that some of the relatives are in now. .
I was informed that one of the relatives never finished high school, and instead pursued a career in sales. He hasn't obtained much, except the experience that he could have gained working part time. I didn't understand how he could stop attending school, even if it was because he felt that it was too difficult. And what puzzled me even more was that his parents were accepting of his decision. But at the same time, I think that at some point, his parents realized that they couldn't make him do anything he refused to do. At which point, they probably gave up on him. And so they started to concentrate on the only daughter who would probably obtain an education. Though I cannot say that they are the brightest of people, it made me want to continue with my own education, because I don't want my parents give up on me, I don't want to disappoint my parents. I always want to make my parents proud of me, and the only thing is education, I have to work hard in school and do the best I can and graduate from high school then attend college and start working on my major, that's the only way I can repay my parents for all these years I've been living with them and not paying for a penny. .
What my relatives in Nevada me realize was how much, not only that I wanted to get a College degree, but also how much I needed to. I don't want to end up with some job that I'm forced to go to everyday to feed my family.
